THERE'S NOTHING that warms a body on a cold winter day like a steaming cup of cocoa, and my mother's was extra-special. She would put a small piece of cinnamon in to add more flavor. Mmm-m-m, it was good. Ingredients:
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup boiling water |
3 cups scalded milk |
2 cinnamon sticks (about 3 inches each) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In the top of a double boiler, stir together cocoa, sugar and salt. Gradually add boiling water. Place over direct heat and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add milk and cinnamon sticks and place over boiling water. Stir and heat 10 minutes. Remove sticks and stir in vanilla. Beat with a wire whisk to froth milk. Serve immediately. Yield: about 4 servings.
