Instructions
Pour milk into a mug. Add cocoa, vanilla and salt. I only add a sweetener if the milk I'm using isn't sweet enough.
1 cup milk, 1 ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa, 1 teaspoon sugar*, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch salt
Put cup in the microwave and heat for 1 minute.
Add a frother to the mixture, submerge and press the button to froth. Run it for 5-10 seconds.
Taste and add more sugar if needed. Enjoy your hot cocoa!

Notes
*For the sweetener you use, choose cane sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, date paste, or even honey if you aren't vegan. The amount of sweetener you'll need will depend on the milk you use. For instance, I don't use any sugar when I use almond milk which is naturally sweet.
