Ingredients

    * 1 cup lowfat milk
    * 1 cinnamon stick
    * 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    * 2 teaspoons sugar
    * 2 teaspoons water
    * 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    * Dark chocolate, as a garnish

Directions

Heat the milk and the cinnamon stick until just simmering. In a mug, combine the cocoa powder, sugar and water and stir to make a paste. Remove the cinnamon stick from the milk. Pour the milk into the mug and stir to mix well. Add the vanilla extract and stir. Grate a little dark chocolate on top for garnish.

*The only difference I make is, I use vanilla soy milk.
