Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk - Any type you prefer dairy, almond milk, or oat milk will work beautifully to create a creamy base for your cocoa.
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder - Unsweetened cocoa powder brings a deep chocolate flavor that balances the sweetness of the drink.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar - Adjust to your taste preference; this can also be substituted with a sugar alternative for a healthier option.
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract - Enhances the flavor profile by adding warmth and richness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon blue food coloring - This magical ingredient is what gives the cocoa its lovely vibrant hue.
  • Whipped cream - For that luxurious finish; choose from store-bought or homemade.
  • Sparkling sugar - A dazzling garnish that adds a touch of sparkle perfect for holiday occasions.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Base: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk together over medium heat until the mixture is warm and all ingredients are fully blended, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to bring it to a boil.
  2. Add Flavor: Once the mixture is warm, remove it from the heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This will add a lovely aroma and depth to the cocoa.
  3. Incorporate the Color: At this point, add 1/4 teaspoon of blue food coloring to the milk mixture. Stir well until the color is evenly distributed, making sure to reach the desired hue.
  4. Serve: Pour the vibrant blue cocoa into mugs. Top generously with whipped cream, letting it melt slightly into the warm cocoa.
  5. Finish with Sparkles: Sprinkle the top with sparkling sugar for an enchanting presentation that adds a holiday feel. Serve immediately and enjoy with friends and family!
