Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 pieces of dark or bittersweet chocolate

The thing that makes this recipe good is premium quality ingredients. Also, make sure you use pure vanilla to avoid those synthetic chemicals.

Heat the milk in a microwave or on the stove top until just beginning to bubble around the edges. Remove from the heat and add the cocoa powder, sugar and chocolate. Stir or whisk vigorously until fully combined. Note: It may take some time to get the cocoa powder fully incorporated. Return to heat or microwave for another 15-30 seconds. Remove from heat, add the vanilla and serve. To make it more authentic, reduce the sugar and add a small amount of ground hot red pepper.
