Hot Cocoa

This rich and creamy drink is very satisfying on a cold winter's day. It's also a snap to prepare.

Cooking time: 5 minutes

Yield: 4 cups

Ingredients:

• 4 cups whole milk (*can substitute low-fat or 1% milk)
• ½ cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted

Directions:

1. Place the milk in a medium heavy-duty saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder and sugar. Toss to blend well. Add 4 tablespoons of the hot milk and stir until the mixture forms a paste.
