1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot
1 cup water
1 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon Kahlua or Grand Marnier, optional
Ground nutmeg or cinnamon
Whipped cream or marshmallows

In a medium, heavy saucepan, stir together the unsweetened cocoa, sugar and cornstarch or arrowroot. Thoroughly stir in 1/2 cup of the water and set over low heat. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup water and the milk. Cook, stirring, over medium-low heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes.

If desired, stir in the vanilla, Kahlua or Grand Marnier. Top each serving with ground nutmeg or cinnamon and whipped cream or marshmallows.

Makes 4 servings; about 1/2 cup per serving.
