“Tomorrow, I’m going to make hot cocoa without a mix.”
I occasionally get into hot cocoa grooves. I can go months and years without drinking hot cocoa and then, one not-so-special day, I must have it.
I’m admittedly food snobbish about many things, but not hot cocoa. One day, I tried to be. I decided to melt bittersweet chocolate and add some milk, making a thick concoction that was undeniably delicious. However, it was so rich that I threw up. Yeah...cool story, right?
Since that unpleasant experience, I have preferred a less rich, very milky hot cocoa. Something that resembles the kind made from a mix, but without the trip to the store. Since I usually keep milk and cocoa on hand for baking, this recipe is perfect for a one-off hot cocoa craving. Without the vomit.

Quick Hot Cocoa
(one serving)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoon water
¾ cup milk (any fat %, non-dairy would probably work as well)
drop of vanilla extract
Combine cocoa, and sugar in a microwave safe mug. Pour over water and stir. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
Add milk and stir to combine. Microwave on high until as warm as you like (about a minute on my microwave that is from the the 80s).
Add a drop of vanilla extract. Stir one last time. Serve with marshmallows or whipped cream, if you like.
