Here's how to make the best hot cocoa you've ever tasted!
Football season in under way, the leaves are falling, and it's freezing in the valley. It's time for a good hot cocoa.

You can make better hot cocoa from scratch. Why? Because you can use better cocoa and more of it. And you're going to make it with fresh milk, not nonfat dry milk. You're even going to save money.
  1. In a medium pan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder with a whisk until it is uniformly mixed.
  2. Add 1 cup milk and whisk until combined.
  3. Cook and stir over medium heat just until it starts to boil. Gradually add another 3 ½ cups milk while whisking.
  4. Heat through until hot but not boiling.
  5. Add a teaspoon of optional vanilla.
Really good cocoa is much richer and darker than store brands. If you want a smoother cocoa, use more milk. Medium cocoa will be more like milk chocolate than dark.
