Colorado Cocoa

I've been making cocoa every morning we've been in Colorado twenty years or more.

To make good cocoa, you have to buy this product:
It's Droste Cocoa Powder, I didn't realize I took a picture of the foreign side of the label. Many nicer grocery stores carry it.



Here's how I make delicious cocoa:

1. Fill a large mug 3/4 full of milk. Do this for as many mugs as you're preparing.
2. Pour the milk into a pan and start heating it.
3. Pour a small amount of milk into each mug again, to cover the bottom and then some. You will use this to make a paste of cocoa and sugar.
   
4. Add two tablespoons sugar or a little more to each mug.
5. Add one super heaping tablespoon of cocoa.
6. Stir and stir until you have a glossy brown paste in each mug.
7. When the milk starts bubbling, pour into the mugs, and stir again. It mixes right away.
   

The only places I've tasted cocoa as good: The Savoy Hotel in London (in our glory days), and a chocolate shop in San Miguel de Allende. I've bought other products from Scharffenberger to those weird Mexican wheels that taste a little like tires. Droste is the best.
