"Ho-Cho" or Hot Chocolate

2 Tablespoons cocoa powder (I like Green and Black's)
2 Tablespoons of white granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons of water
2 cups of milk
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
mini-marshmallows

Combine in a small saucepan combine the first three ingredients and heat on medium low till hot stirring constantly. In a 2 cup Pyrex measuring glass scald the milk in the microwave. Add the milk to the mixture gradually. Heat to your likeness. You may like it sweeter, if so add 1 to 2 more Tablespoons of sugar. Finish with the vanilla, pour into mugs, top with mini-marshmallows and enjoy.

*If you have semi-sweet chocolate lying around like I do you can use this instead by melting 1 ounce (or more) of the chocolate in a double-boiler and reducing or eliminating the sugar all together and no water.
