add all ingredients to a sauce pan and set over medium heat, whisking to combine. Heat until it is steaming and hot, but not boiling. (Tip: you can add all ingredients to a blender and pulse to combine, then pour mixture into sauce pan to warm up. This will make sure there are no clumps of cocoa powder. this is helpful, but not necessary to make the recipe)
**If you opt to use a whole cinnamon stick, do NOT put it in the blender. Make the recipe the same way, without the sugar, and then stir the hot cocoa with the cinnamon stick to incorporate the flavor.
