1
Heat the Milk
In a medium saucepan, pour 2 cups of milk and heat over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
3
Combine Ingredients
Once the milk is hot (but not boiling), add the dry mixture to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the cocoa and sugar are completely dissolved.
4
Add Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor.

5
Serve the Hot Chocolate
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs or cups.
6
Top with Whipped Cream
If desired, add 1/2 cup of whipped cream on top of each serving.

Garnish
Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chocolate shavings and add marshmallows on top.
