Ingredients

Units: US

12 ounces evaporated milk

1 1⁄2 cups hot water

1⁄4 - 1⁄3 cup sugar

1⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 dash salt

1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Measure water into a 2-quart sauce pan. Add sugar, cocoa and salt. Heat water over medium heat. Stir mixture until cocoa dissolves completely. Gently bring mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a fast simmer and simmer it for about 5 minutes. Finally add the evaporated milk and stir to blend. Reheat briefly, but don’t boil. Pour the hot chocolate into small mugs. This recipe makes 4 6-ounce size servings. I added a spoonful of whipped topping on the top of each filled mug. It was delicious!
