OLD FASHIONED COCOA

 A freezing day.....brrrr. Calls for something chocolate. Something old fashioned. How about this......

Put in a saucepan:
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup 1/2 and 1/2 cream
4 cups milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of cinnamon

Boil up. Keep in fridge in covered container. When you want a cup, combine a scant cup ful with hot milk or hot water ( the concentrated mixture is quite strong, so it needs to be "watered" down). Heat up to the temperature you like, and enjoy. Keeps a couple of days in fridge.  You also might want to add a tad bit more sugar, as it is not oversweet at all.  Use a  beautiful cup and saucer.....
