Heat 3 3/4 cup of the milk in a small sauce pan. If you are using dairy carefull not to let the milk curdle. For raw milk it is best to not let it get any warmer than 110 F to preserve most of the benifical properties of the raw milk.
In a small bowl or mug mix the remaining 1/4 cup milk, cocoa powder, hoeny and extracts. Stir with a fork or a small wisk until a smooth paste is formed.
Once the milik is heated pour the cocoa paste into the milk and wisk until smooth.
Serve each cup of cocoa with a generous dalop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. You could also serve your cocoa with a homemade marshmallow or two.
