Hot Cocoa Recipe
Here’s a simple and delicious hot cocoa recipe that anyone can make at home. It’s perfect for those chilly winter days when you need something warm and comforting.
Ingredients:
2 cups of milk
2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:
Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a saucepan. Warm it over medium heat, but be careful not to let it boil.
Mix in the Cocoa and Sugar: In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and sugar. Add this mixture to the warmed milk in the saucepan.
Stir Until Smooth: Keep stirring the mixture until the cocoa and sugar are fully dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve with Whipped Cream: Pour the hot cocoa into mugs. If you like, top it off with some whipped cream. Enjoy your homemade hot cocoa!
