Delicious. I made a single serving for lunch today and it wasn't enough the fill the mug . I added fat free evaporated milk to top the skim milk that I used. I got a rich tasting cocoa with a lovely body and texture. Also, I used 1 tbsp of Splenda in place of the sugar. Thanks for posting this one, :D.
