Hurray! Science has confirmed that drinking anti-oxidant-packed hot cocoa is even better for us than green tea! Most packaged cocoa mixes aren’t so healthy, though—so try this better-for-you simple hot cocoa recipe and warm yourself all the way down to your toes.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups milk (you can substitute lowfat, skim, soy, or rice milk, if you wish
2 heaping tablespoons organic fair trade pure dark-chocolate cocoa powder, more or less to taste
Pure maple syrup, to taste (some of us prefer a sweeter cocoa)
1. Heat the milk in a saucepan and add cocoa powder, whisking to combine.
2. Add maple syrup to taste, stir again, pour into a large mug, and serve hot.
Makes 1 serving.

At least 60 calories, at least 1% stored fat(by the iron contained in the cocoa), pounding heart,and support child slavery. No, thanks!
I thought this would be a new idea. My grandmother, used to make hot chocolate using the above ingredients, but to sweet it she used natural sugar crystals some neighbors made when I was growing up. It was delicious and very thick. But I also like your recipe for making hot chocolate. I don't know about the maple syrup. I'll stick with the natural brown cane sugar crystals, that I get from Hawaii.
WOW!!! I will be making some of this for winter! Sounds delicious. Thanx for the great info.
