Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan, mix water, sugar, cocoa and spices with a whisk. Bring to a bubbling boil. (this is a very key step - the bubbling boil is very important. You are toasting the flavors together at this step and it makes all the difference to the taste of the cocoa.) Allow to bubble and stir consistently. I let the bubbles raise up a bit, then whisk them down. Bubble up again, then whisk them down. Do this at least 3 or 4 times.
- 2. Slowly add 1 can of evaporated milk while whisking.
- 3. Pour in 3 cups of whole milk and stir - not only circularly, but back and forth - side to side as well. Stir in this way until steam begins to rise off the cocoa.
- 4. Remove from heat source and add freshly grated nutmeg. Stir again in circular, back and forth - side to side motion.
- 5. Optional: Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a dash of cinnamon.
