1
Heat the Milk
In a medium saucepan, pour 2 cups of milk and heat over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
2
Mix Cocoa and Sugar
In a separate small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well to create a uniform blend.
3
Add Cocoa Mixture to Milk
Once the milk is hot (but not boiling), whisk in the cocoa and sugar mixture until fully dissolved.
4
Add Vanilla and Salt
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
5
Serve
Remove the saucepan from heat. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs.

6
Add Whipped Cream
Top each mug of hot chocolate with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
7
Garnish with Chocolate Shavings
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for added flavor.
8
Add Marshmallows
If desired, add a handful of marshmallows on top of the whipped cream.
