- 12 ounce can evaporated milk
- 1-1/2 cups hot tap water
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa or carob
powder
- Dash Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Measure the water into a 2-quart sauce
pan. Add the sugar, cocoa and salt. Heat the
water over a medium flame. Stir the mixture
until the cocoa dissolves completely.
Gently bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a fast simmer and simmer
it for about 5 minutes. This will prevent
the cocoa and sugar from sinking to the
bottom of the cup when you serve it.
Finally add the evaporated milk and stir
to blend. Reheat briefly, but don't boil if
you can manage not to. Pour the hot
chocolate to smallish cups.
This recipe makes 4 6-ounce size
servings. You can double it when you are
serving a gaggle of cold children who have
just come inside from sledding. It goes
really well with cookies, or sandwiches for
a good snack on a snowy day. Very Very Rich.
