SIMPLE HOT COCOA FOR ONE

As with hot chocolate, use any milky liquid you prefer, whether it's from a cow, nuts (almond milk), beans (soy milk), or grains (rice milk). For sweeteners, feel free to substitute maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar for sugar, but start with less, about 1 tablespoon, and taste the combination before adding more.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
Pinch of salt
1 cup milk or any combination of milk, half-and-half, or cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk together the cocoa, sugar, salt, and about 2 tablespoons milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until cocoa and sugar are dissolved. Whisk in the rest of the milk and heat it over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until it is hot. Stir in the vanilla and serve.
  • If you like it frothy, blend it in the blender.
  • This recipe multiplies easily. When you get up to a quart of milk, use 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder. The better the cocoa powder, the better your hot cocoa will taste. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and "100% cocoa." This will ensure that you are getting a pure cocoa powder without any added sugars or fillers.
  • Use whole milk or your favorite milk substitute. Whole milk will give your hot cocoa a richer flavor, but you can also use low-fat milk or even almond milk or coconut milk if you prefer. If you are using a milk substitute, you may need to add a little bit of extra sweetener to taste.
  • Sweeten your hot cocoa to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or your favorite sweetener. Add it a little at a time until you reach the desired sweetness.
  • Add a pinch of salt. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the hot cocoa and make it even more delicious.
  • Top your hot cocoa with whipped cream, marshmallows, or your favorite toppings. This will make your hot cocoa even more decadent and enjoyable.

Conclusion:

Hot cocoa is a delicious and comforting drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it rich and chocolatey or light and fluffy, there is a hot cocoa recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a warm and cozy drink, give hot cocoa a try. You won't be disappointed.
