Instructions 

  • Mix cocoa, sugar and salt in a medium sauce pan to combine. Pour about ½ cup of the milk in and stir to make a thick paste. Turn burner on medium. Slowly add remaining milk, stirring with a whisk.
  • The recipe says to heat until bubbles form around the edged of the pan. But I like my cocoa piping hot so I let it go a bit longer then that. Just be sure to stir well and not let the milk scald.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  • Pour into mug and top with whipped cream or marshmallows which ever you prefer.
