Here's your daily way to become Merry & Bright! Dec. 19 - Snuggle up with a mug of hot cocoa.
¾ cup white sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
⅓ cup boiling water
3 ½ cups milk
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup half-and-half cream
Combine sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a saucepan. Add boiling water and whisk until smooth. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously to prevent scorching, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in milk and heat until very hot without boiling. Remove from heat; add vanilla. Add cream to each mug to help cool cocoa to drinking temperature then divide hot cocoa between 4 mugs. Serve hot and enjoy!
