- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Fat-free milk
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream topping (optional, low-fat or fat-free)

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Slowly stir in the water to form a smooth paste and place the saucepan over medium heat.
Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until it starts to bubble gently. Let it cook for about 1 minute to bloom the cocoa flavor.
Slowly pour in the fat-free milk while continually whisking to combine.
Continue heating the mixture while stirring occasionally until it is thoroughly warmed, but do not let it boil.
