Hot Cocoa 1962 Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. In a small pot, heat 4 to 6 cups of water.
• Fill your mug half full with the mixture and pour in hot water. Stir to combine. Seal the rest in an airtight container, keeps indefinitely in the pantry. This also works great with warm milk.

Steps:

• Blend the cocoa powder, sugar, cold milk and cornstarch together well.
• In a saucepot heat the one cup milk, to simmering point, and stir in the ingredients, and cook for one or two minutes, until dissolved and hot. Stirring well.
• Pour into cup, top with mallows or whipped cream.

Steps:

• In saucepan, combine sugar and cocoa.
• Add a few tablespoons of milk and heat over medium high heat, stirring constantly.
• The heat will make it easier to dissolve the cocoa.
• When the sugar, cocoa and milk have formed a paste, add the remainder of the milk plus the vanilla or cinnamon and heat until steaming.
• Pour into mugs, top with a bit of whipped cream and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, powder and salt.
• In a bowl cream the eggs with sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add in the oil, milk, juice and flavouring.
• Combine dry ingredients into the wet.
• Pour into a greased and floured tube pan.
• Bake 350 degrees for 40 to 60 minutes.
• Test with a toothpick or tester around the forty minutes time.
• This can be glazed when cold with a icing powder and milk and anisette flavouring and drizzled over the cooled cake if desired.

Steps:

• Sift the cocoa powder and flour.
• Measure out 4 cups of milk. From the 4 cups of milk, slowly whisk about 1/4 cup of it, a little more if necessary, into the cocoa/flour mix until it becomes a paste. If you add milk too fast, you get clumpy cocoa. If that happens, use a hand blender to smooth it out.
• When all the cocoa and flour are a paste (no more dry flour,) add the remaining spices (sugar, nutmeg, cloves, peppers, and cinnamon).
• Heat the rest of the 4 cups of milk in a double-boiler or a saucepan over medium.
• Add the cocoa/flour/spices mix to the hot milk in the double-boiler. Stir constantly to keep it from burning.
• If you prefer a slightly thicker drink, you can add the optional cornstarch/water mixture now. Continue stirring on the heat until it's to your desired thickness. Not too long; you don't want to be forced to use a knife and fork. ;D.
• When the cocoa is ready (it takes about 10-15 minutes until the flavor and heat level are *just right*), strain the cocoa in a fine sieve to remove the cloves and cinnamon pieces. (Careful, it could splatter - I found out last night. *grrr*) Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla and stir.
• If you like, you can put whipped cream on top, add small marshmallows, or add a stick of cinnamon for stirring.
