Hot chocolate and iced chocolate

Exactly the way Rose likes them.

Soy milk
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Hot chocolate mix
Vanilla extract
Cinnamon (optional)

1) In a two-cup nuke-safe pitcher, microwave 2 ounces of unsweetened soy milk for 30–45 seconds until hot and bubbling (this will happen very quickly, so keep an eye on it!).

2) Add 1 mounded soupspoonful of cocoa powder, 1/2 mounded soupspoonful of hot chocolate mix, and 1 teaspoon (about 1/3 of a soupspoonful, or a small splash) of vanilla extract to the pitcher. Optionally, shake in a bit of cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly, using the spoon to scrape up any lumps and smoosh them against the side. Microwave for another 30 seconds to make a thick chocolate mixture.

3) Pour in soy milk up to the 10-ounce line for hot chocolate or the 12-ounce line for iced chocolate. Whisk until it's all combined.

4a) For hot: Microwave pitcher until chocolate soy milk is hot and bubbling (make sure it doesn't boil over). Pour into large mug. Enjoy.

4b) For iced: Put 10 ice cubes in a Starbucks cold drink cup. Pour in chocolate soy milk. Put the straw through the lid and snap the lid on the cup. Swirl/shake to chill thoroughly, or blend to make a frappe. Enjoy.
