HOT CHOCOLATE FOR ONE
This is my recipe for home-made hot chocolate. I couldn't find one like it here on food.com, and was curious about the nutritional content. A little less sweet than some and a little more chocolatey than others, it also makes good chocolate milk (Just allow the syrup to cool and add to cold milk.) Be adventurous and change up the flavors if you like. A sprinkle of cinnamon, a few drops of mint or orange extract, or half a spoonful of instant coffee can turn a simple cup of cocoa into a gourmet experience. This could be easily multiplied to serve more than one.
