  1. Pour the milk directly into the basin of a slow cooker.
  2. Measure in the sugar and cocoa powder. to combine with the milk. It might take a little effort, as it will not easily combine in cold milk, and it will not completely dissolve into the liquid at this point. That's OK!
  3. Add the vanilla extract, and give it a stir.
  4. Place the cover on the slow cooker and turn on to low.
  5. Cook for 1-2 hours, or until the cocoa and sugar have melded into the milk. You’ll need to whisk every so often to aid this process.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite cocoa toppings and enjoy!
