Ingredients

Servings
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup water hot
  • teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, water, and salt over medium heat.
  2. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bring to a simmer.
  3. Reduce heat, and stir in the milk, do not boil.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour into mugs and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For one: in the bottom of a mug, mix 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Heat 1 ¼ cups of milk until hot but not boiling (in the microwave or stovetop). Pour a little bit of the hot milk, just enough to cover the powdered mixture, and with a spoon or small whisk, dissolve the cocoa and sugar. Once you have a chocolatey base, add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla. Pour the rest of the hot milk into the mug and stir to combine.
