Recipe - Italian-Style Hot Cocoa

One half cup Cocoa powder
1/3 cup White sugar
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
One fourth cup Water

Mix in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once this mixture
comes to a boil, add 2 cups of liquid (water, brewed coffee, skim milk; the
author recommended a cup of water and skim milk each) and stir over heat
until heated through and mixed.

This produces a thick, quite rich brew, not for children, but highly
chocolateconcentrated. Clearly, it's pretty much just empty calories, but
not that much of them, and the fat is only what comes in your cocoa. Of
course, the New Yorker article claimed that the flavor varies greatly with
the brand of cocoa powder that you usehe recommended some Italian
varieties that I've been unable to findbut he found that basic Hershey's
was more than adequate.
