Hot Cocoa

This is the good old-fashioned stuff, better than what we get from the packets. For extra richness, stir in some heavy cream or half and half.

In a saucepan, stir together dry ingredients. Whisk in hot water, and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes, then stir in milk. Heat until hot, but don’t boil. Stir in vanilla. Makes 4 servings.
