The perfect cup of hot chocolate...

Since the weather around here finally got the hint to start acting the way Minnesota weather should act, I'm giving you a present.

The way to make the perfect cup of hot chocolate! It's all about the measurements. Seriously.

How to make the perfect cup of hot chocolate:

Step 1: Grab your ingredients.
-Hot cocoa powder
-Water
-Milk
-French vanilla liquid creamer
-A mug
-A spoon
-A pot

Step 2 part 1: Boil your water!
Put the water in your pot and place it on the stove. Turn on the stove. Wait for the water to bubble (as this is boiling).

...I can't be more specific than that.

It's important that you actually boil the water. This will dissolve the powder best and leave the HC hot after the cold ingredients are added in.

Step 2 part 2: Prepare your mug.
While your water is boiling, grab your mug, spoon, and cocoa powder.

Fill approximately 1/6 of the cup with powder. This is crucial! You need this much powder to get a creamy consistency with full chocolate flavor.

Step 3: Let the liquids mingle.
When your water is ready, pour it into your mug. Fill it up about 3/4 of the way to the top. Stir.

Fill most of the remaining space with milk and add just a splash of your creamer. Stir.

If you have marshmallows, please feel free to add them here.

Step 4: Enjoy.
Seriously, go ahead.
