  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the water until a smooth paste forms, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, continuing to stir.
  5. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously.
  6. Heat through gently for another 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through. Do not boil.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  8. Pour into two mugs.
  9. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Enjoy!
