Homemade Hot Cocoa

This is the recipe my great grandma made and taught my grandma, who taught my mom and me. Every time we visited my grandparents or great grandma this cocoa was made for breakfast.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of cocoa powder

Dash of salt

1/3 cup hot water

4-6 cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon burned sugar flavoring (optional)

Marshmallows

Directions:

In a large pot combine sugar, cocoa powder, salt and hot water. Mix until a paste forms.

Heat on low heat until the paste becomes a syrup, stirring often.

Slowly stir in milk and flavorings and continue to heat until desired temperature. DO NOT SCALD.

Add marshmallows and serve.

Notes:

I don't buy burned sugar flavoring, instead I hear the cocoa and sugar until it's sticky before adding water. This will cause the sugar to crystalize a bit when you add the water (even if it's boiling). Just keep stirring. Once you have a good syrup, add the milk as directed and keep stirring in any bits that may have stuck to the bottom or sides.

Just the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and water makes homemade chocolate syrup! You can scale up the recipe if you'd like to keep some homemade chocolate syrup around for chocolate milk, ice cream, coffee, whatever you use it for.

If you have leftover, this makes the BEST chocolate milk I've ever had.

Feel free to customize if you like caramel, or mint, or any other kind of cocoa.

I have managed to get my unread emails from 3,000 down to 3. The only problem is those 3 are ones I missed accidentally and are therefore now scattered amongst a decade of other emails.
