Hot Cocoa

This recipe came with our Cocoa-latte machine, which we absolutely adore. We’re able to just throw the ingredients into the machine, but I’m sure stirring it up by hand over the stove would work just as well.

2 cups milk
5 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

I thought all hot cocoas were the same. I stand corrected.
