How to make better cocoa than you can buy!
You can make better hot cocoa from scratch. Why? Because you can use better cocoa and more of it--rich and dark, milk chocolate, and more. And you're going to make it with fresh milk, not nonfat dry milk.
In a medium pan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup unsweetened high quality cocoa powder with a whisk until it is uniformly mixed. Add 1 cup milk and whisk until combined. Cook and stir over medium heat just until it starts to boil. Gradually add another 3 ½ cups milk while whisking. Heat through until hot but not boiling. Add a teaspoon of optional vanilla.
Really good cocoa is much richer and darker than store brands. If you want a smoother cocoa, use more milk. |

If it's chocolate, chances are, it depends on cocoa. And better cocoa makes a better product. Cocoa butter is the critical component. This has up to 3 times the cocoa butter of that found in stores!
