- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in 2/3 cup milk, ensuring no lumps form. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick chocolate paste forms (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the remaining 1 1/3 cups milk and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Continue to heat, stirring occasionally, until the hot cocoa is steaming and thoroughly heated through (but not boiling).
- Pour into mugs and enjoy immediately! Optional: Top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
