It was a tad chilly.

Early morning photo shoot for Senior Portraits this morning.  Close to freezing temperatures.  So I decided to bring some hot cocoa along for my client.  I think she liked it.

Hot Cocoa

Combine, stir & boil for 2 mins in the top of a double boiler over direct but low heat:

1 cup boiling water

1/4 cup cocoa

1/8 tsp salt

4 tbsp sugar

then add:

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Then add:

3 cups scalded milk

Stir and heat the cocoa. Cover and keep over hot water 10 more minutes. Add:

1 tsp vanilla

Beat with a wire whisk before serving.
