Hot Chocolate

By marmar

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 4 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup 1% milk, divided
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
• pinch of ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Mix sugar, cocoa and 2 tbsp. cold milk in a mug until smooth. Heat the remaining milk in a small saucepan on the stovetop or in a 2 cup glass measure in the microwave until steaming hot but not boiling. Stir in the cocoa mixture and vanilla.

To froth the hot chocolate, whirl a whisk in it by rubbing your hands back and forth. (Alternately pour the hot chocolate into a blender, cover with the lid and a kitchen towel and blend until frothy). Pour it back into the mug and sprinkle with cinnamon.
