Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla seeds and pod, and salt in a medium pot. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the milk is steaming but not boiling.
Place the chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl, and, using a ladle, add about 1 cup of the steaming milk. Let sit for about 1 minute before gently stirring to melt the chocolate completely. Stir another ladleful of milk into the bowl. (This helps the chocolate and milk emulsify.)
Reduce the heat to low and gently whisk in the melted chocolate-milk mixture. Stir until the chocolate is incorporated and the mixture is homogenous. Remove and discard the vanilla bean pod.
Carefully ladle the hot chocolate into 4 mugs. Garnish with whipped cream and marshmallows, if using, or dust the tops with cocoa powder and enjoy!
