Hot Cocoa, anyone?



The first snow of the season has arrived and along with that comes my first cocoa craving of the season. mmmmmmm..

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup boiling water
3 1/2 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup gingerbread coffee creamer
whip cream to please :)

Directions
1.Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water. Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat until very hot, don't let it scorch! Remove from heat and add vanilla and gb creamer. Divide between 4 mugs. Add whip cream and go ahead and sprinkle a bit of cocoa for presentation. YUMMO!
