Next, heat the mixture over medium heat for about five to seven minutes. Stir constantly to make sure all the ingredients blend. Let the hot cocoa begin to steam.
Last, carefully pour the hot cocoa into four-ounce cups and serve. You can garnish it with ground cinnamon, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or anything you like.
Notes
The calories listed are based on the ingredients, using whole milk, and are served in four-ounce serving sizes. We used coconut milk for our recipe, so it was not as rich or decadent. However, we wanted to know if it would work with a non-dairy milk product. The difference is small.
