Are you looking for a steaming hot cup of chocolate to warm you up and satsify your sweet tooth? You might want to try some real, homemade hot cocoa then. The stuff you buy in packets at the store can be good but the homemade stuff can be even better. Try this recipe out:
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
2 Tbsp honey
2 cups warm milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp powdered milk (optional)
Blend cocoa and honey in a cup. Add a small amount of the warm milk to make a syrup. Pour that syrup into the rest of the warm milk and add the vanilla. If you’d like richer cocoa, pour the milk mixture into the blender and add the powdered milk, blending until combined. Pour the contents back into a pan and heat until warm but not boiling. Of course you can always top off of your homemade cocoa with another sweet treat like marshmallows or a candy cane!
