步骤说明

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of ![hot water] over ^[medium-low heat]. Stir constantly for about 1 minute until the mixture forms a smooth, glossy paste. This step "blooms" the cocoa powder and prevents lumps.

2. 2

   Pour in the milk (and heavy cream if using), whisking continuously to fully incorporate the cocoa powder paste into the liquid. Increase heat to ^[medium].

3. 3

   Heat the mixture, stirring frequently, until it is steaming and just beginning to simmer around the edges — about 5 to 6 minutes. Do not let it come to a full boil, which can cause the milk to scorch or develop a skin.

4. 4

   If using chopped semi-sweet chocolate, remove the saucepan from the heat and add it now. Whisk until completely melted and the cocoa powder is velvety smooth.

5. 5

   Stir in the pure vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness — add another teaspoon of sugar if you prefer it sweeter.

6. 6

   Pour into two mugs and top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or a light dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon. Serve immediately.
