Okay, so I guess I didn’t realize that cocovod was a regional thing. Lot’s of people are asking me what it is and simply put: it’s the best way I know to chase away the winter chill. Essentially, cocovod is a hot chocolate drink with a bit of a kick.
Here’s my Aunty Bonnie’s recipe for cocovod (the one I use):
Ingredients
¾ cup of Whole Milk
3 tsp of Sugar
3 tsp of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
½ tsp of Vanilla Extract
¼ cup of Vodka
Heat milk, vanilla, cocoa powder, and sugar in a small saucepan, forever stirring. Make it as hot as you like, as long as the cocoa powder and sugar are dissolved, you’re fine. Don’t make it too hot or you’ll burn your tongue. Pour into a mug and add vodka.
Enjoy.
Note: I can’t find my tablespoon in case you’re wondering!
