- 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.
