Hot Chocolate

dutch process cocoa powder ((use a good high quality for the BEST hot chocolate, but Hershey's works great here too; if not using dutch process use 1/3 cup cocoa powder))

white granulated sugar

sea salt

hot water

whole milk

Optional: replace 1/2 cup milk with French vanilla coffee creamer,

pure vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

Miniature or dehydrated marshmallows

Chocolate shavings ((using a vegetable peeler, peel a chocolate bar!))

Instead of vanilla extract, try orange extract for an orange hot chocolate or peppermint extract for a minty hot chocolate

ground cinnamon
