The Farmer & I are back from the beautiful city of Helen and it seems that we may have brought back a bit of a chill with us. It is currently around 50 degrees out and I am kicking it inside for now. I went to gather eggs this morning and I got a bit of rain on me so I'm trying to keep warm for the rest of the day. So anyway, I began craving hot cocoa halfway through the day. I mean, who doesn't love hot chocolate on cold days?
But I didn't want hot chocolate from the pouch like I have always had. I wanted it homemade. (Yes, Y'all know me with my homemade recipes...)
Here is one I found and tried that I can't even describe how good it is. I have never tasted a single pouch of hot chocolate that tastes better than this hot cocoa. Be sure to try it and let me know what y'all think!

Hot Chocolate for Cold Days
by Lady of the Farm December-6-2017
This hot chocolate is sure to delight the young, old and cold people in your life!
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
1/3 Cup Sugar
1 3/4 Cups Milk
1/4 Cup Milk (separate from other milk)
Instructions
1. Stir together the cocoa powder and sugar in a saucepan. Blend them together.
2. Add the ¼ cup of milk.
3. The milk and cocoa mix won’t blend until you add heat. Bring the mix to a low boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
4. Let it boil a minute or two until the sugar has dissolved. Don’t stop stirring even for a minute!
5. Once it’s all mixed, add the rest of the milk. I poured it straight out of the jug and it was still amazing. I think I may have poured around two cups.
6. Turn the heat back up to warm it a little more. NOTE: If you’re giving it to small children you can skip that because the cold milk will make it lukewarm, perfect for little mouths!
7. Enjoy with friends & family around the fireplace and snuggle up with a blanket!
