It's starting to get really cold here. It's supposed to go below freezing at night all weekend. I think it's about time to break out the hot chocolate.I was searching online for some home made hot chocolate recipes and I found an interesting article stating that hot chocolate is actually good for your skin. It's supposed to make your skin smoother and more hydrated.
I say break out the hot chocolate!
Here's a recipe I found online for a healthy hot chocolate that's supposed to taste great.
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder with 70% or more cacao
Pinch of salt
1 cup skim or low-fat milk
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat gently stirring frequently constantly. Pour into a mug and enjoy.
I usually add a little sugar and whipped cream to my hot chocolate when I make it myself instead of using the instant kind, but that's not really the healthiest way to make it.

My all time favorite. I've also tried adding a stick of cinnamon to it as recommended by a fren..dont like the taste. still prefer the original thick chocolaty taste.

This is the method to prepare cocoa drinks in my country if we order food and drinks in a hawker stalls. But then, this one I prepare it in cold that is not suitable your weather right now. maybe u can try it out when summer (some day).
i don't know why recently i love drinks without milk! every time i consume milk, i can easily puke. why eh?
can feel the hot chocolate flow down my throat, hehehe... yum yum...
I love having a fire and drinking hot cocoa!!!
I bought a box of dark chocolate instant the other day and my teenager was so excited. I hate to see winter come because I don't like the cold, but hot chocolate is the best part of the season.
My daddy used to make me hot chocolate all the time. Sigh - I miss that.
