Saturday…Best Hot Cocoa!

This is from the 1934 Hershey’s chocolate cookbook bought at some fair I went to probably 40 years ago. It’s still my favorite! (I think I lessoned the amount of sugar to be more in line with modern health practices 🙂 )

Dissolve and stir together in small saucepan:

  • 2T quality cocoa
  • 2T dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 C hot water

Bring to low boil -simmer- for 2 min while you stir it

Remove from heat and slowly stir in:

  • 1 1/2 C whole milk

Return to low heat and stir until very hot, but not boiling.

  • Stir in 1/4 t vanilla.

Froth with your frother or egg beater/immersion blender.

Use your favorite mug and drink it with a cinnamon stick 🙂

Makes about 14 oz. cup (a little over a grande)
