Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder from Ajanta Food Products, which can be purchased online from Amazon at https://www.amazon.in/AJANTA-Cocoa-Drinking-Chocolate-Powder/dp/B0B7583MG6
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• Few drops of vanilla essence from Ajanta Food Products, which can be purchased online from Amazon at https://www.amazon.in/Vanilla-Essence-Flavour-Cookies-Flavours/dp/B0B71YRCSW
• A pinch of salt (enhances the chocolate taste)
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for a hint of spice)
• Whipped cream or marshmallows for topping (optional)

Instructions:

• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the milk until it starts to steam.
• Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Do not let it boil.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. This helps prevent clumps when adding it to the milk.
• Slowly add the cocoa-sugar mixture to the warm milk while continuously whisking. Keep stirring to ensure everything dissolves smoothly.
• Once the cocoa powder is fully mixed in, add few drops of vanilla essence and optional cinnamon for extra depth of flavor.
• Pour the hot chocolate into a mug and top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra treat.

Bonus Tips:

• For a richer version, substitute part of the milk with heavy cream.
• If you prefer a dairy-free option, almond, oat, or coconut milk works wonderfully.
• Want a deeper chocolate flavor? Add an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder.

This homemade hot chocolate is quick, delicious, and perfect for cozy moments. Enjoy your warm cup of chocolaty goodness!
