Mullen's Favorite Hot Cocoa

1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa
dash salt
1/3 c. hot water
4 c. milk
1/2-1 tsp vanilla

Bring the first 4 ingredients to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla and warm through. Do not boil. This is also good with a pinch of cinnamon. Or I like it with Pero, half and half.

There are so many flavors of cream to pour into coffee now, you can add a dollop of additional flavor as desired if you really want to go all out.
