A pretty cup full of hot and creamy cocoa warms my heart and body. On chilly days like today, I savor every sip while wrapped in a fuzzy blanket next to my dog, and it's about as cozy as it gets.
I received an electric kettle as a Christmas gift and absolutely love it. I use it at least once a day, and today it was used for cocoa. Here's my perfect cup:
3 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. cocoa powder
3/4 cup hot water (from my awesome kettle)
1/4 cup half and half
At least a dozen mini-marshmallows!
Whether you like it extra-sweet or a little dark, I hope you take the time to create your own perfect cup and enjoy. I especially hope you put it in a cup or mug that makes you smile when you look at it.
I promise: It's worth the fuss.
