Hot Cocoa Ingredients

Hot Cocoa Directions

  1. 1

    Mix Cocoa and Sugar

    In a medium saucepan, combine the dark cocoa powder and sugar (if using). Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.

    Serve

    Pour the hot cocoa into mugs and top with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Iced Cocoa Directions

  3. 8

    Stir in Cinnamon and Cayenne

    Add the cinnamon syrup and cayenne pepper to the mixture. Adjust the cayenne to your taste preference.
