Old-Fashioned Cocoa from Scratch
Laura Lane 1/2 cup Hershey’s cocoa 1 cup of white sugar 1/3 cup of cold water Enough milk to fill 3 quart saucepan Combine 1/2 cup Hershey’s cocoa and 1 cup of white sugar in a three quart saucepan using a wire whisk. I do this while the cocoa and sugar are still dry so that the cocoa will mix in nice and smooth without a bunch of lumps. Add about 1/3 cup of cold water and mix until smooth. Bring to a boil and continue to boil it for about a minute, stirring constantly. Don’t worry if it sticks to the sides, it’ll melt back into the cocoa as it heats up. Fill the pan with milk, It'll be a little more than half a gallon of milk. Stir and heat using medium heat. If you need to walk away from it, just turn it on the lowest heat. Heat to desired temperature, but do not boil. A personal note from 2014: My family just loves the rich flavor of old fashioned cocoa made from scratch. Scratch means you start with basic ingredients and go from there. I love it, because I always have the ingredients on hand. We're always ready for a cocoa fix. My kids will have the memory of Momma over the stove stirring the cocoa. They came running when they heard the scritch scritch scratch sound the whisk makes in the pan. Number Of Servings: 6 The total cost at 2025 prices are: 2.48 for 1/2 cup of cocoa .38 for 1 cup of white sugar 3.07 for 3 qts of whole milk Total is $5.93 $1.00 per serving Preparation Time: 15 minutes

@Laura Lane As soon as i got on school i looked for a cooking group. I've been casually learning to cook for a little over a year now and it's become a hobby of mine 😁
