I mentioned this last year....

A heaping teaspoon of honey (good, local honey)
A heaping teaspoon of cocoa powder
About 1/2 cup powdered milk

Add boiling water.

Note: The above measurements are approximates according to my taste. You may adjust. I also add, now and then, a capful of orange, almond, rum extract when I feel the desire.

For me, I will NEVER go back to powdered, junky, fake hot cocoa again. With this, I can meter my sweetness and cocoa.

If you try this, please let us know!

It is soooo good and tastes like ice cream. I add those baby marshmallows when its steaming hot, too delicious. Oh and my grandson was over when I made some of this cocoa and he said, grams, this would be really good with a peppermint stick in the cup. So tomorrow I will buy some candy canes. Great recipe Di.

Wanted to bump this back up for anyone who may not have been here last year.

I make this all the time. It's so wonderfully delicious!
