Hot Cocoa

Hot Cocoa

Well, if you are a chocoholic like me, Hot Cocoa is always tempting.   So, this is very easy to do.

As with tea, boil water in the pot or teapot for two minutes, and empty an envelope of cocoa in a cup.  

Add the water to the cup, and stir.  Add whip cream and cinnamon if you'd like.

There you go, hot Chocolate.  Enjoy!!!

PS-  You can substitute water for milk.

There is the Latino version of hot chocolate done with a chocolate bar that you can buy at Latino Stores the brand could be "Abuelita", "Corona" or "Cortes".  You put one bar of chocolate in the pot, per cup of milk and let it boil 3 times.  Stir it all the time and remove it from the heat when it raises, to make sure the chocolate does not spill over.  You will need a special pot and a molinillo (see pic.) which may be sold at the Latino stores as well.
