Is all this cold weather getting to you? If you want a cup of hot chocolate, skip Starbucks and their overpriced drinks. Make your own at home!
Whether you buy a hot chocolate mix or make one of your own, you’re bound to save on the big bucks and extra calories.
Here is how to make your own hot chocolate at home for one person:
Take a mug and put in about 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa
Add a few tablespoons of skim milk or soy milk and mix it with the cocoa then stick it in the microwave.
Heat it for 30 seconds, take it out and slowly add more milk until your cup is filled.
Keep stirring as you’re adding the milk.
Add vanilla. You can also add sugar to taste or skip if if you want to really experience the chocolate flavor.
Pop it back in the microwave for about 1 minute (microwave temperatures vary).
Other variations:
Add a little decaf coffee for a mocha flavor
Add almond flavoring to bring out the chocolate
Put a few marshmallows on top
Put some light whipped cream on top
Now relax and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
