I've stopped buying hot cocoa at the store. Yep. We've been making homemade hot cocoa this winter and I hope you will, too, (because it's easy and delicious and cheaper and probably better for you):
- 1/3 C cocoa powder
- 1/3 C sugar
- 4 C milk (you can use cow's milk, almond milk...whatever)
- vanilla extract, if you want
- top with whipped cream...extra yummy, but not necessary (I haven't bought marshmallows in a long time, as I think real whipped cream is much better)
So, first you'll mix the cocoa powder, sugar and a half cup of the milk in a pan on the stove over medium heat, just until it comes to a boil...stirring with a spoon. Stir in remaining milk and vanilla. Pour into 6 mugs and top with whipped cream...enjoy! ♥
Mmmmmmmm. My mom always made homemade cocoa back in the day...
ReplyDeleteOhhh, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking for a homemade hot chocolate recipe. This will do!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've been making the same sort of hot chocolate with maple syrup instead of sugar... on fast days I just put in almond milk instead. It's very good! (Better when I can have real milk though!)
