if you're alone tonight and you need hot cocoa

serves 1

1 tbsp + 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp (heaped) brown sugar (i discovered a tbsp of honey works just as well but for a stronger flavour; try molasses for a real kick)
1/4 pinch of salt
dash of ground cinnamon
dash of ground nutmeg
1 tbsp + 1 tsp boiling water

mix these in saucepan (heat on low) for two minutes until texture is smooth

then (heat on high) mix in:
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp milk
1/8 tsp vanilla extract

heat until steaming, but not boiling, then serve.

add 2 tbsp of half and half to cool down if you want, but i didn't and it tastes perfectly lovely

i also popped out the whipped cream and added some extra nutmeg to top it all off.
amaaazing aroma


*snazzy trick i learned from the millers: add a scoop of vanilla icecream to the top of your hot cocoa (i like using mint chocolate chip, makes chocolate bits at the bottom).



this is my amazing friday night
hope your're as happy as my taste buds right now
