I bought two very large bags of a British hot chocolate at my local clearance store; the directions say to make a syrup with very warm water then add warm milk.
Now I make about 8 cups in a huge coffee cup, I bought at the Mn Renassaince, but I just add four heaping scoops to the cup, fill about one-half way up with simmering water, stir that. Then I , some times add a flavored liquor or whiskey, fill it the rest of the way up with whipping cream.
UUUUMMMMMM GOOD. (the other half likes marshmallows o her cocoa, but I only really like them roasted over a fire or in bars.)
