hot chocolate

Lately I have been enjoying homemade hot chocolate! It is just my favorite! I recommend this recipe.

1/3 C unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 C white sugar

1 pinch salt

1/3 C boiling water

3 1/2 C Milk

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 C half and half

Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water. Bring the mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scortch. Stir in 3 1/2 C milk and heat until very hot but don't boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla and add the cream. Divide between 4 mugs.

This is GREAT with homemade whipping cream! YUMMY

Enjoy!
