A comforting and creamy cocoa drink perfect for any time of the day.
Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a large mug.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Heat the milk in the microwave on high for about 1.5 minutes or until hot.
Use a microwave-safe container to avoid spills.
Gradually pour the hot milk into the mug with the cocoa mixture, stirring constantly until smooth.
Pouring the milk slowly helps to prevent lumps.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Adding the vanilla at the end preserves its aromatic flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy cocoa delight.
Garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a fancy touch.
