 Easy Hot Cocoa from Scratch


Here's a simple recipe to make hot cocoa from scratch:


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups milk (any kind - whole milk for creamier cocoa, almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding.

  2. Once the milk is warm, whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to whisk until the cocoa powder and sugar are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

  3. Taste the hot cocoa and adjust the sweetness or cocoa flavor to your liking by adding more sugar or cocoa powder if desired.

  4. Once the hot cocoa is heated through and well mixed, remove the saucepan from the heat.

  5. Pour the hot cocoa into mugs and top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings if desired.

  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade hot cocoa!

This easy hot cocoa recipe is perfect for warming up on chilly days or as a comforting treat anytime. You can also customize it by adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor, or a splash of peppermint extract for a festive twist.
