HOMESTYLE HOT COCOA

Growing up in snowy Canadian winters, my mom would always make my brothers and me hot cocoa after a night of tobogganing. When I got older - and had long since abandoned real cocoa for the instant variety - I had a craving one night for a more wholesome treat. Here's my recipe for a creamier, homestyle cup of cocoa. Perfect for those snowy winter nights!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better your hot cocoa will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overheat the milk: Overheating the milk will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Heat the milk just until it is steaming, but not boiling.
  • Stir constantly: Stir the hot cocoa constantly while it is cooking to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once your hot cocoa is made, you can add your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, marshmallows, or grated chocolate.
  • Experiment with different flavors: There are many different ways to flavor your hot cocoa. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to your next batch.

Conclusion:

Creamy hot cocoa is a delicious and comforting drink that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a pot of hot cocoa that will warm you up from the inside out. So next time you're feeling cold or just need a little pick-me-up, reach for a cup of creamy hot cocoa.
