Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup skim milk
1 1/4 tbsp hershey's cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp cold water
1/8 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/8 tsp chili powder ( optional) or 1/8 tsp sweet paprika (optional)
1/8 tsp dried mint (optional)
1/8 tsp almond extract (optional)
1/4 cup espresso (optional)
2 tbsp kahlua (optional)
2 tbsp baileys irish cream (optional)
2 tbsp peppermint schnapps (optional)

Directions:

Mix the cornstarch and cold water. Set it at your side.
Whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and milk over low heat.
Raise the heat can continue whisking, adding the vanilla and your chosen options.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture, raise heat just a bit more, and whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes nice and creamy.
Options I recommend: Cinnamon and nutmeg for spiced hot chocolate, cinnamon and chili powder for Mexican hot chocolate, almond extract and Kahlua for amaretto, mint leaves and Bailey's for creamy mint hot chocolate - the possibilities are endless.
