HOMESTYLE HOT COCOA
Growing up in snowy Canadian winters, my mom would always make my brothers and me hot cocoa after a night of tobogganing. When I got older - and had long since abandoned real cocoa for the instant variety - I had a craving one night for a more wholesome treat. Here's my recipe for a creamier, homestyle cup of cocoa. Perfect for those snowy winter nights!

BOILED WATER
Just had to post this wonderful recipe. My brother always told me his wife couldn't boil water if her life depended on it. We came from a family where every female loved to cook. My poor baby brother married someone who had never cooked. Boy did he enjoy family dinners, lol...... Anyways, I wrote this recipe on a piece of paper for my SIL as a joke and recently her and my dearly departed brother's daughter, my niece, gave me the little piece of paper I wrote it on. In memory of my baby brother, here is my recipe for boiled water :)

Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use a cocoa powder with a cocoa butter content of at least 20%.
- If you don't have a whisk, you can use a fork or a spoon to mix the cocoa powder and sugar together. Just be sure to mix them thoroughly until there are no lumps.
- Add a pinch of salt to the cocoa mixture. This will help to balance the sweetness of the cocoa and sugar.
- For a creamier hot cocoa, use whole milk instead of water. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
- If you like your hot cocoa extra-rich, you can add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup or a square of dark chocolate to the mug before adding the boiling water.
Conclusion:
Hot cocoa is a classic winter beverage that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to warm up on a cold day or to relax before bed. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a hot cocoa recipe that everyone will enjoy.
