Benjamin's Hot Chocolate Recipe

I have been planning to try to create a corn-free, milk-free hot chocolate for Benjamin for a couple of months now. Yesterday after playing out in the snow I finally made this creation for him. It was his first hot chocolate ever! (I don't know why it never dawned on me to try it sooner.) He loved it!

Benjamin's Hot Chocolate
1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1-2 Tbsp. white sugar
a dash of salt
1 Tbsp. very hot water

Microwave these ingredients, 10 seconds at a time, until boiling.

Add:
3/4 cup soy milk (Silk brand is completely corn-free, 8th Continent has a small amount of xanthan gum, a corn-derived product, which doesn't bother Benj who is very corn-sensitive)

Microwave again until hot, but not boiling.

Add:
1/8 tsp. vanilla flavoring (Baker's, sold at Wal-Mart, is one corn-free brand)

Optional:
Add 2 Tbsp. or more cold soy milk to bring to drinking temperature.
