Make from real cocoa, not of this instant mix stuff, yo.

Been a while, but I recall about a 1:1.5 ratio of cocoa powder to sugar being good, maybe reduce sugar content if you plan to add baileys or whatever. Use whole milk for that delicious creamy texture.

P.S. Heat milk on stove for better control of temperature.

How to Make Real Hot Chocolate:

Ingredients:
2 squares unsweetened or semisweet chocolate
1/3 cup sugar
4 cups milk

Break or chop the two squares of unsweetened or semisweet chocolate into smaller pieces.

In a saucepan, add: 2 chopped squares unsweetened or semisweet chocolate, 1/3 cup sugar and 2 cups milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously. Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the remaining 2 cups milk and heat all the way through. Do not allow the hot chocolate to come to another boil.

Remove from heat and serve immediately.

You may substitute 1/3 cup semisweet morsels for the 2 squares unsweetened or semisweet chocolate.

^ Wouldn't be winter without at least one of those :) Save some Murchie's for me.

Either some Kahlua or some Mint Baileys for a Cafe Franklin. And of course some whipped cream to top it all off.
