Hot Cocoa Recipe

1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup water
1/2 cup (or more, up to 1 cup to taste) honey
6 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream

Heat the cocoa powder, water, and honey over medium heat (stirring occasionally) until it thickens, then add (or heat separately and mix, if your pot is small) the milk and cream.  Top with marshmallows if you're not vegan or picky.

2 cups heavy cream, 1 can evaporated milk, 2 cups sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, and one large bowl of fresh, clean snow.
