There is a simple recipe. I'll give it here just in case you may be like me and had to go and look it up.
Homemade Hot Chocolate
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup boiling water
pinch of salt
Mix in pan until dissolved then add,
4 1/2 cups milk and heat until hot.
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
You may add extra milk or half and half to cool it if it is too hot for immediate sipping.
I keep the extra in a mason jar in the refrigerator for afternoon warm and cozy breaks. Don't we all just need those sometimes?
But this afternoon, nothing said warm and cozy to me like a fresh cup of brewed coffee with a stick of biscotti for dipping, naturally. A drizzling cool rain was falling , a pumpkin spice candle was burning and chili was warming in the crockpot. Have I used the word cozy enough already?

That sounds so wonderful. I spend the day in a cold library. Our furnace is broken and we barely broke 50 deg with our space heaters plugged in. When I got home tonight I took a long hot shower.
I'm feeling cozy just reading about it. There is something wonderful about each new season isn't there?
I love homemade hot chocolate - that's how I make it but I don't put in the vanilla - will do next time as that sounds perfect! My hubby doesn't like it so I get to hog it all to myself.
So good isn't it? I have the smell of chocolate muffins and the heater on as it is cold and drizzly here too. Lamplight softens it all.
