To Die for Hot Cocoa

Harry's Super Simple, Healthy Hot Cocoa

The secret to this easy recipe? Heat it slowly. Slow heat helps release the antioxidants.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder with 70% or more cacao (such as Scharffen Berger natural cocoa powder or Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa)
2 teaspoons sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup skim or low-fat milk

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat gently (do not let it boil), stirring frequently, until cocoa is just beginning to steam. Pour into a mug and enjoy.

EDITOR'S PICK
Valrhona chocolate


Treat yourself to chocolate -- dark, rich, 70% cocoa organic chocolate from Valrhona. Break off a square from the smooth, silky bar and let it slowly melt in your mouth, enveloping your taste buds with a deep, earthy, chocolaty finish. Lowering your blood pressure never tasted so good.
