    the best hot chocolate is home made... i use 100% cocoa.


    1tsp cocoa
    sugar to taste (i like just a little (1tsp?) because the milk, when warmed, becomes sweet)
    milk (i prefer whole milk, but you can skinny this down if you want)
    almond or vanilla extract

    mix cocoa, extract sugar and a little bit of water in a small pot. heat gently until it becomes a syrup. fill your mug with milk for measure, then pour that milk into pot, heat, pour mixture into your cup!

    mine's a little high in calories, but it's because of the milk and it's a pretty big cup.
    almond hot cocoa, 1 serving(s) 167 16 8 1 376 8
