US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons cocoa powder and the 1 pinch of kosher salt until combined. Set aside.
Microwave or boil 2 cups of water until hot. If microwaving, about 2 minutes.
Pour the hot water into the cocoa mixture.
Add in the ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract and whisk well to combine util the sugars and cocoa powder have melted.
Pour into 2 mugs and top with vegan/gluten free marshmallows and chocolate syrup, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Cocoa Powders: If you don't have both types of cocoa powders on hand, just use dutch or natural unsweetened. The hot cocoa will be too dry and bitter with only dark.

Vegan: Use a vegan cocoa powder, vegan sugar and vegan marshmallows and chocolate syrup.

I do not recommend storing this. Discard any leftovers.
