the wonderful hot chocolate I am craving:

The amount of milk you think you can drink
Twice the amount of chocolate powder called for
four shakes of cinnamon
one shake of nutmeg
about a teaspoon vanilla

Mix it all together then warm it up, preferably on the stove but the microwave will do.

Top with whipped cream, then a little more cinnamon to make it pretty.

stick a candy cane in it if you are feeling adventurous.
