Homemade Hot Cocoa

This tastes better to me when done on the stove, frothy and yummy, but the microwave still delivers a warm, delicious cup of sweet comfort. I think it's way better than the packaged stuff, plus you get the benefits of the flavanoids by using actual cocoa powder.

2 Tbsp. sugar, or equivalent amount of other sweetener (we use Splenda)
3 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1 cup milk (we use 1%)
1/4 tsp. vanilla

Microwave: Mix dry ingredients in a large mug. Heat milk separately, 1-2 minutes until hot. Slowly stir in to dry ingredients, add vanilla.

Stove top: Heat all ingredients, except vanilla, over medium heat, whisking regularly. When heated through, stir in vanilla.
