Creamy Mocha Hot Cocoa Food

VANILLA MOCHA HOT COCOA

Steps:

• 1. Add the milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, chocolate, vanilla, coffee powder, and pinch of salt to a large pot. Place the pot over medium low heat until the milk is scalding, but not boiling. Be sure to stir the pot often to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom and burning.2. Once the hot cocoa is steaming, ladle into mugs and dollop with whipped cream. Drink and enjoy!

HOT MOCHA

Steps:

• In a small mug or coffee cup, mix the cocoa and Sweet'N Low together. Add a few tablespoons of the coffee and stir until the cocoa is completely dissolved. Pour in the remaining coffee.
• Foam the milk. Spoon a generous amount over the hot mocha. Garnish with a pinch of cocoa powder, if desired.

MAYAN HOT COCOA

Steps:

• Sift the cocoa powder and flour.
• Measure out 4 cups of milk. From the 4 cups of milk, slowly whisk about 1/4 cup of it, a little more if necessary, into the cocoa/flour mix until it becomes a paste. If you add milk too fast, you get clumpy cocoa. If that happens, use a hand blender to smooth it out.
• When all the cocoa and flour are a paste (no more dry flour,) add the remaining spices (sugar, nutmeg, cloves, peppers, and cinnamon).
• Heat the rest of the 4 cups of milk in a double-boiler or a saucepan over medium.
• Add the cocoa/flour/spices mix to the hot milk in the double-boiler. Stir constantly to keep it from burning.
• If you prefer a slightly thicker drink, you can add the optional cornstarch/water mixture now. Continue stirring on the heat until it's to your desired thickness. Not too long; you don't want to be forced to use a knife and fork. ;D.
• When the cocoa is ready (it takes about 10-15 minutes until the flavor and heat level are *just right*), strain the cocoa in a fine sieve to remove the cloves and cinnamon pieces. (Careful, it could splatter - I found out last night. *grrr*) Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla and stir.
• If you like, you can put whipped cream on top, add small marshmallows, or add a stick of cinnamon for stirring.
