Hot Cocoa!

On a cold winter day when the gray sky doesn't seem to want to turn blue, this great hot chocolate will make the cold weather not so bad. My babysitter used to work at a cafe, and she made delicious cocoa. One day she taught me how to make it.

This is what you need for 4 servings:
  • 4 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • A dash of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg
How to make it:
  • Pour the milk into a large pot on the stove.
  • Turn to high and stir in the cocoa powder and sugar.
  • Slowly add in the cinnamon and nutmeg, do not stop stirring.
  • Once smooth pour into mugs and enjoy!
It's easy, isn't it?!

    Hi Craftygyrl,
    I think you have to make a paste of the cocoa, sugar, and spices with a few drops of milk first, don't you? If you put the powders in the milk dry, they won't incorporate, but will clump up instead.

    I never thought about making a paste. It's a very good idea.

    I can't wait to try this recipe! I have the marshmallows waiting in my pantry now, but will have to buy the cocoa soon. Yum!
