From-Scratch Hot Cocoa

Directions

1. 1
   In a medium-sized saucepan, mix the dry ingredients, and turn the stovetop to medium-low.
2. 2
   Add 1/4 cup of the milk, and stir smooth.
3. 3
   Stir in, bit by bit, more and more of the milk, but only as much at a time as can be added while keeping the liquid silky smooth.

   When all milk is incorporated, add the vanilla.
5. 5
   Allow the hot cocoa to thicken just a bit, by stirring for about 5-7 more minutes, and then serve with marshmallows.
