On a typical rainy day, when you need to wrap your hands around a cup of a warm beverage, hot chocolate never disappoints. Here’s how to make a thick and glossy batch of hot chocolate.
2 cups milk 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Whipped cream
Warm the milk over medium heat until it is lukewarm.
Add cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the warm milk.
Stir, and once the liquid is uniform, pour the hot chocolate into the mugs.
Garnish with whipped cream, marshmallows, or sprinkles and enjoy!
