I love this drink!! I make it all the time now instead of drinking powdered hot chocolate every day. I half the recipe and it fills a huge mug almost 3/4 of the way. Must try! -
I've made this recipe numerous times and keep forgetting to review it. It's wonderful. It reminds me of the Mexican hot chocolate from our favorite Mexican restaurant in NYC. I tweak this recipe by using 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar instead of the 4, and it is sweet enough. I enjoy this hot chocolate with Stella D'oro anisette sponge cookies. -
This recipe left me very disappointed after having your New England hot chocolate (which I enjoyed very much!). I didn't like the flavoring in this and felt that it lacked the creaminess that I like and I also felt that the subtle taste of the cinnamon was overcome by the taste of cocoa. I'm sorry, but I didn't care for this one much. -
I made this with Lactaid since my husband is lactose intolerant. It turned out so chocolaty smooth with a hint of cinnamon. We loved it! -
My 5 year-old loves this! We made it with almond milk and left out the cinnamon. Was looking for a super easy hot chocolate recipe using cocoa powder and minimal ingredients, and this was perfect - easily halved! Thanks so much for posting!

I suggest adding a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. I always add this to any cocoa. Try it..
