Cooking Directions

  1. Mix sugar, cocoa and 2 tablespoons cold milk in a mug until smooth. Heat the remaining milk in a small saucepan on the stovetop or in a 2-cup glass measure in the microwave until steaming hot but not boiling. Stir in the cocoa mixture and vanilla.
  2. To froth the hot chocolate, whirl a whisk in it by rubbing your hands back and forth. (Alternatively, pour the hot chocolate into a blender, cover with the lid and a kitchen towel and blend until frothy.) Pour it back into the mug and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Yield: 1 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Our hot cocoa is rich and chocolaty without the overly sweet taste of some packaged mixes. We give it a luxurious froth with a whisk or blender. Try using a cappuccino frother if you have one.

  • Surprisenly GOOD!

    Because this was so simple to make, I didn\'t think it would be anything special. But to my surprise, it was creamy and delicious. And a special bonus, is the low amount of calories (compared to many others)

    This was sooooo good, quick, and easy! I just made it with my 5 year old. Creamy, chocolatey, and the vanilla adds an extra hint of richness. My only suggestion would be to cut back on the sugar - next time I will only use 1 1/2 tbls.
