How to Make Chocolatey Hot Cocoa For One
- In a small, heavy saucepan, whisk together 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk, starting with a few tablespoons to create a smooth paste before adding the rest.
- Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan, until tiny bubbles appear around the edges (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or your preferred liqueur).
- Top with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg or cinnamon, a dollop of whipped cream, or mini marshmallows.
