This homemade hot cocoa is lower in sugar (and carbohydrates) than
other recipes. It can be made with soy milk. Try flavoring it with
cinnamon for a little change.
Serving: 1

2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp water
6 oz 1 percent milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp almond extract

In a small saucepan, stir together the cocoa powder and the sugar. Add
the water and stir well. Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes
to a low boil and the sugar dissolves. Stir in the milk, vanilla, and
almond extract. Reduce the heat to low and stir until warmed through.
