• 3/4 cup lowfat milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

microwave-safe mug. (Use a 8-once mug or larger as drink needs

whisk until smooth. Continue stiring while pouring in the remaining
milk.

3. Place mug in microwave and heat o high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes,

Immediately turn off microwave and stir hot chocolate, add vanilla
if desired, and return to microwave for 15 seconds longer. Remove,
stir, and enjoy.
