Craving Hot Cocoa

Today when I came home from my big walk I wanted hot cocoa. I poked around my cupboards and found sugar and cocoa powder. I mixed a teaspoon of each using a tiny bit of hot water to dissolve it. Then I added a cup of milk and heated it all up. It was delicious. For variety I like to mix hot cocoa with a little bit of hot coffee. I never realized that cocoa has to dissolve in a hot liquid! Many times I tried to make chocolate milk in a blender unsuccessfully. You can make chocolate milk by dissolving a little bit of cocoa and sugar in a small amount of hot milk or hot water and then adding it to the cold milk.
