- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 1
This is NOT that ready-made thing that they call hot chocolate. Nor is it about taking a teaspoon of chocolate powder in some milk. This is about going back to the original mug of hot cocoa that kept our parents warm before the era of "processed, pre-packed, and prepared" . Read more OK ! So it takes a little longer but when you have tried it, Tell me if it wasn't worth the wait See less

What a great idea to post this. I NEVER would have thought of it. It helps to mix the cocoa and sugar before you add the milk. The cocoa doesn't clump so easily. I also like to add a little vanilla extract.
