Thankful - Day 4

I am thankful for Warm Drinks and Cozy Seats

When the weather outside starts to dip, it's time to wrap up and sip. Humm the creative side of me is starting to come up. But this time of year and season brings that out in me :o) There is nothing better then making a homemade up of cocoa and sharing it with the one you love. And this recipe is one of my favorite,

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

n a saucepan, combine cocoa, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend in hot water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil, stirring for 2 minutes. Add milk; stir and heat thoroughly, but do not boil. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Beat until foamy. Serve hot with cinnamon or peppermint stick, if desired.
Makes about 5 8-ounce servings.

Now find that favorite comfy chair and sit back and enjoy!

XOXO,
