Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.

Steps

  1. Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it's just steaming and barely bubbling at the edge. Don't let it reach a rolling boil.
  2. Whisk in both chocolates, the brown sugar and the salt until everything is melted and glossy. Turn the heat to low and hold it at a bare simmer for about 5 minutes, whisking now and then.
  3. Kill the heat completely and move the pan off the burner. Whisk in the vanilla.
  4. Let the pot sit for 2–3 minutes so it drops out of simmering range, then add the measured tincture and whisk steadily for a full minute. Whisking matters more here than anywhere else — an under-stirred pot means five unequal mugs.
  5. Check your volume: you should have about 5 cups. Ladle into five mugs using a 1-cup measure so each one gets the same pour, and stir the pot briefly between pours. Top with marshmallows or whipped cream if you like.
  6. Label it: if any goes in the fridge, pour it into a jar with a tag reading "Infused sipping chocolate — 5 mg THC per 1 cup mug, 5 servings, 25 mg total. 21+ only. Made [date]." Reheat gently with a splash of milk; use within about 4 days. If you're serving straight away, tell each person the per-mug number as you hand it over.
