Instructions
- Stir together sugar, cocoa and salt in medium saucepan, pressing out most of the cocoa lumps with the back of a spoon. (This helps it whisk together without lumps)
- Stir in water and cook over medium heat, stirring with a whisk, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil and whisk 2 minutes.
- Add milk; stirring periodically, and heat to serving temperature. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour into mugs and top with marshmallows or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- MICROWAVE SINGLE SERVING: Combine 1 heaping teaspoon cocoa, 2 heaping teaspoons sugar and dash salt in microwave-safe cup or mug. Add 2 teaspoons cold milk; stir until smooth. Fill cup with milk. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until hot. Stir to blend; serve.
