Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- optional whipped cream or marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Mix well to avoid any clumps.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. This creates a paste-like base for the cocoa.
Microwave the mixture on high for 20 to 30 seconds. This step helps to dissolve the sugar and enhance the flavor of the cocoa.
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously to ensure the mixture is evenly combined.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes, or until the cocoa is hot. Be careful not to let it boil over.
Remove the mug from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract.
Taste and adjust sweetness, if desired. Optionally, top with whipped cream or marshmallows for a final touch.
Enjoy your homemade cocoa immediately while it's warm!
