The Twelve Days of Christmas: Day 3
My Dad used to make homemade hot chocolate for me when I was a little girl. This recipe is from my Grandma - it's quick and easy and tastes so much better than any instant hot chocolate. I like to add a little cinnamon to the cocoa mixture to give it a little extra flavor. It's also great with a shot of peppermint or raspberry liquor. With or without the extras, be sure to top with lots of marshmallows or whipped cream.
5 T. Sugar
1/2 T. Cocoa
1/4 C. Water
Mix sugar and cocoa, add water and mix. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar and cocoa are dissolved. Add milk (as much as you'd like, depending on how rich you want it) and heat until warm.
