Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt over medium-low heat.
- Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and hot, but not boiling.
- Pour into mugs and serve immediately.
Additional Tips:
- For an even richer hot chocolate, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Add a splash of peppermint extract or a candy cane for a festive twist.
- Garnish with mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor.
