Hot Cocoa
1/4 - 3/4 cup sugar - I would suggest starting with less than 1/4 cup then adjust to taste later
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup water
3 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup whipping cream
COMBINE cocoa, sugar, salt and water in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil stirring constantly.
ADD milk and heat, stirring constantly - don't boil. Here is where I suggest you add more sugar if desired - heating until dissolved.
REMOVE from heat, stir in cream and vanilla. Top with marshmallows.
mmmmm, yummee!!
