#73 Hot Cocoa

We have a very time honored sacred Christmas morning tradition in my house....homemade hot cocoa and blueberry muffins while we open presents. Then a super yummy breakfast brunch menu for after! It is such a special day, mostly because it is a day for our family alone. Which I love so very, very much! Hot cocoa is always made homemade on Christmas morning. Here's the great part....it's easy!

Homemade Hot Cocoa

1 1/2 Tbsp. Unsweetened Cocoa
1 1/2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 cup whole milk

Adjust this basic recipe for how much you want to make. I followed this recipe using 6 cups of milk which then needed 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp. each of cocoa and sugar.

Use a pot suitable for your desired amount.


 
I use the best cocoa I can find.


Use a wire whisk to mix the cocoa and sugar into the milk. It takes a bit for the cocoa powder to incorporate. Just keep whisking.

 
Mmmm! Super rich chocolate....hot cocoa fit for beautiful Christmas mornings for wonderful family traditions!!!
