On a cold winter day, nothing beats warming up with a hot mug of cocoa. You may be tempted to rip open a package of instant hot chocolate, but you'll be missing out on the comfort and traditional taste that can only be had with the real thing.First prepare these ingredients multiplied by the desired number of servings:
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 heaping teaspoons of cocoa powder
- 2 heaping teaspoons of brown sugar
- cinnamon to taste
First, start some water boiling and put the cocoa powder into a pot. Slowly stir in the boiling water, adding just enough to completely dissolve the cocoa.Next, add the milk and heat the pot at medium. Stir the brown sugar into the heated milk and continue stirring so the milk doesn't burn.
Once the hot chocolate is steaming, ladle into mugs and enjoy - adding a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Sounds like a tasty treat! You could also top it with marshmallows or whipped cream...or even add a splash of Amaretto or coffee liquour. I am looking forward to future additions to the blog. Thanks for contributing! CP
I'm going to try this right now... just finished running the dog through a few feet of snow.
oops, I used tablespoons... no wonder it tastes so rich, dang
