Steps:
- Whisk together the cocoa, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and about 1/2 cup half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the cocoa and sugar are dissolved. Whisk in the rest of the half-and-half.
- Bring it just to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, then reduce the heat and slowly simmer it 1 minute.

Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a high percentage of cocoa solids (70% or higher).
- Use whole milk or half-and-half instead of water. This will make your cocoa richer and creamier.
- Sweeten your cocoa to taste. You can use sugar, honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
- Add flavorings to your cocoa. Some popular flavorings include vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and peppermint extract.
- Top your cocoa with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings.
