Classic Hot Cocoa
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 cup half-and-half, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 large marshmallows
Instructions
1
Combine sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan; mix well with boiling water. Continue whisking until the sugar has fully incorporated.
2
Heat the cocoa mixture on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for approximately 2 minutes; then add milk and half a cup of half-and-half to the mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, just until it reaches a hot temperature, roughly 2 minutes.

Take the saucepan off the heat source; stir in the remaining half-and-half and add vanilla extract.
4
Divide the cocoa mixture among individual mugs, top with marshmallows, and serve immediately.
