How to Make Frothy Spiced Cocoa

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
  2. Heat the remaining 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  3. When the milk is hot (but not boiling), slowly whisk in the cocoa mixture until fully combined.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute.
  6. For a frothy texture, whisk vigorously before serving.
  7. Garnish each serving with a cinnamon stick and enjoy!
