BEST HOT COCOA EVER! AND REAL WHIPPED CREAM!
I got this out of the cookbook Honest Pretzels, by Mollie Katzen. It really IS the best hot cocoa ever. There is also a recipe for whipped cream, you might want to make it before the cocoa.

Steps:
- ***DO NOT TURN ON FIRE UNTIL IT SAYS SO***.
- Put 2 tablespoons chocolate chips plus 1/2 tsp sugar into a small saucepan.
- Pour the milk into a 2-cup measuring cup until it reaches the 1 1/2 cup line.
- Slowly pour the milk into the saucepan.
- Add vanilla extract.
- Put the pan on the stove and turn heat to medium.
- Stir slowly (important!) with a wooden spoon as the milk heats up. the chocolate chips will slowly begin to melt. (It takes about 5 minutes to reach the right temperature. keep stirring constantly and be patient, DO NOT LET IT BOIL!).
- It will be brown all the way through and the chips will be melted and milk hot when it is ready.
- When it's ready take the cocoa off the stove and slowly pour it into 1 or 2 mugs.
- Serve plain, or with a little whipped cream (recipe follows) or cinnamon on top.
- ***WHIPPED CREAM***.
- Get out large bowl and a whisk.
- Put the cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Beat strongly but not too fast with a whisk. It's best to take turns with someone, so your arms won't get tired.
- When it gets nice and puffy but is still soft, it's ready.
- It can keep in a covered container in the refrigerator, it keeps up to 2 days. but the sooner you use it, the better.
