Homemade Hot Cocoa

adapted from a recipe found on cooksrecipes.com

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup hot water
1/8 cup dark cocoa powder
1/8 cup regular cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix cocoas, sugar, cinnamon, water and salt in a saucepan. Over medium heat, stir constantly until mixture boils. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Stir in the milk and heat through, but do not boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla; blend well. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.

(Can alter with orange zest in place of cinnamon, or a drop of peppermint, to suit your tastes.)
