Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Homemade Hot Cocoa.
Step 1
To create a delightful homemade hot cocoa, start by grabbing a saucepan and mixing together white sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Next, pour in some boiling water and whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 3
