It may be chilly outside, but when you think about it, this stormy weather gives you the perfect opportunity to snuggle up under a blanket while you read a good book and sip on a delicious cup of hot cocoa. If you’d like to make this imaginary scenario a reality, follow this simple but tasty hot cocoa recipe Great Harvest in Mentor has for you.

How to Make Delicious Hot Cocoa

Ingredients

4 cups of milk (preferably whole)
¼ cup of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
½ cup of sugar
¼ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
Cinnamon (to your liking)
Condensed milk (optional)
Marshmallows

Instructions

1. Pour the milk (both whole and condensed) into a saucepan over a medium heat until it simmers.
2. Put the cocoa, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and mix them well. Pour a few spoons of the milk into this mixture and stir until you’re left with a thick paste.
3. Then, scrape this paste into the rest of the milk and let it simmer again (do not let it boil!). While this is going on, add the vanilla extract.
4. Lastly, the most delicious step of them all; serve the hot cocoa and place a handful of marshmallows on top! You can add a bit more cinnamon if you’d like.
