Single Serving Hot Cocoa Recipe
Description:
This single-serving hot cocoa recipe was born from a moment of necessity when I realized my cupboard was void of the usual hot cocoa mix. After a quick search in the pantry, I found that making hot cocoa from scratch could be much more satisfying. The rich combination of cocoa powder, milk, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla creates a creamy, flavorful drink that feels indulgent. I no longer buy packaged hot cocoa mixβthis version is far superior!
