Hot Chocolate Recipe!

Here in Iowa, we have been having freezing temperatures and walking outside has not been enjoyable for the past couple of weeks. Nothing is better than coming home from a long, cold day at school and having a cup of delicious hot chocolate. I got this amazing recipe from my grandma who would make this when my family would come over and see her during the winter months.This recipe is one of my absolute favorites to make and I hope it becomes yours as well.

2. 2. Add in your water and bring it to a boil, then keep the water boiling for one minute  

3. 3. Then add in your milk slowly  

4. 4. Heat up until it is the perfect temperature for you  

5. 5. Remove the pot from the heat and add in your vanilla, stir and pour into your mug
