Steps

5 mins

1

Microwave milk in coffee mug for 1 minute. (Make sure mug is microwavable! Or else blerrr!!)
2

After microwaving, add cocoa powder and stir (I recommend using 1 tablespoon of powder for every 8 oz of milk you use. Most coffee mugs will hold 6-8 oz of liquid.)
3

Microwave for 1 more minute and stir
4

You can now add some sugar if you want. (The drink will be very bitter if sugar is not added! Yuck!)
5

If drink is still too cool, go ahead and microwave, 1 minute at a time, to suit your tastes. Make sure you stir in between microwaving!
6

Feel free to top with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate or caramel. Marshmallows and chocolate chips make it even better! :)
