Ingredients

- Sugar70 g
- Marshmallowoptional
Directions
Making cocoa is as simple as can be. The most important thing is to use good quality ingredients, namely fresh milk and finely ground cocoa powder. You can use any fat content cream that is readily available. Choose a saucepan with a thick bottom. Add the necessary amount of sugar and melt it (on low heat) until it forms a light caramel mass. Do not overcook the sugar to prevent the drink from becoming bitter. Do not stir the contents of the saucepan with a spatula, just shake it occasionally.
Very carefully pour the cream into the light caramel mass, as the contents of the saucepan will start to bubble vigorously.
Place milk in a saucepan and heat it. In a separate cup, mix cocoa with 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Stir the cocoa until there are no lumps. Pour the cocoa from the cup into the saucepan with the milk.
When the cocoa with milk starts boiling, turn off the heat and transfer the chocolate milk to a saucepan with caramel. Mix everything well and bring to a boil.
Pour the caramel cocoa into cups and garnish with marshmallows. The drink is ready.
If you want a more 'adult' and intense taste, add your favorite spices to the drink: cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom - add them when mixing cocoa powder with milk in the cup. And alcohol additives such as whisky, rum, or brandy - add them at the end, after boiling.
