Serves 8

Ingredients:
2 cups water
8 Tablespoons cocoa
8 Tablespoons sugar
6 cups milk
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Peppermint flavoring (about 1/2 tsp)
whipped cream
chocolate shavings (optional)


Directions:
1. Measure water, cocoa and sugar into cocomotion or glass measuring cup. Stir well.
If not using cocomotion -- microwave on high for 1-2 minutes to make a chocolate syrup. If using cocomotion just add all ingredients together and turn on.
Stir in milk and vanilla and peppermint syrup (optional). (If not using machine, microwave until warm)If you don't have peppermint syrup you can add a few peppermint candies to the pot.
Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

***I just mixed everything (except the whipped cream and chocolate shavings) in bowl and then added it to my hot chocolate machine.
