Instructions

Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it’s steaming, but not boiling.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
Combine: Add the dry mixture to the heated milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps and ensure the cocoa and sugar dissolve completely.
Add Vanilla: Once everything is mixed and warm, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings if desired.
