Creamy Hot Cocoa (Jeanie Bean)

Hello everyone...
How's your Sunday so far? Hope all are well, enjoyable and fun, not to mention safe as well. Mine had been quite a good one so far. Managed to do most of the house chores by morning which allows me to do my ironing as well. I miss my iron actually. Weird, I know. But when you like it, you just like it! Haha...

Syahmi had his tuition with Iddin at our house just now. And after the class, I just served them with some Roti Boy which I bought yesterday and also a cake from the wedding gift. Then I went on AllRecipes dot com to look for any drinks that I can serve them and stumbled upon this Hot Chocolate Drink which I think is the best to serve my visitors. I wasn't wrong. All of them loves the Creamy Hot Cocoa. Thank you to Jeanie Bean of AllRecipes dot com for coming to my rescue. Allow me to post the recipe here, with a slight changes to suit my taste, so that many others could enjoy your lovely recipe.
