Ingredients

1/2 cup (100 grams; 3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1/4 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (use the best you can get, like Valrhona)

Steps:

Pour the sugar into a heavy-bottomed saucepan that will comfortably fit the sugar with some headroom.
Place over medium-low heat and stir gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to keep the sugar heating evenly.
As the sugar heats, it will turn from fine grains to white shardy pieces to golden shards to a melted amber puddle. Be patient!
When the sugar is fully dissolved and a deep golden caramel, stir in the sea salt and take the pan off the heat.
Pour the cream into the caramel in a thin, steady stream while stirring; the caramel will hiss, bubble and harden, so this is where it's crucial to have a pan with enough room to prevent boil-over.
Return the pan to the stove over medium heat.
Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring until the caramel is fully incorporated.
Whisk in the cocoa powder.
Continue to heat, stirring occasionally, until the cocoa is steaming.
Serve immediately, with or without marshmallows.

MY VERSION OF CARAMEL, SALTED COCOA

My Version of Caramel, Salted Cocoa image

Make sure to use a good quality cocoa for this one. The better the cocoa the better the outcome. Please don't be tempted to not use the SALT...it enhances the dark depths of the bittersweet chocolate and the sweet golden caramel. The alcohol in this drink is strictly optional. It is so good both ways, you won't be sorry.
