Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat. Slowly heat the mixture while continuously stirring to prevent the cocoa from settling at the bottom.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Simmer

    Once the mixture is heated through, increase the heat slightly until it reaches a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Optionally, top with whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or garnish with a cinnamon stick.
