If you try to cook cocoa in milk/cream, the scum will form on the top and it prevents the cocoa from being cooked properly. After adding the milk/cream, it only needs to be warmed, not hot enough to cook it. I also add a bit of real vanilla, and a tiny bit of salt to help bring out the flavor. I have never found a 'mix' to come close to my version. This way you can make it as strong or creamy as you like it.

I don't deny that other people like it different. It's just that I prefer it with milk, and I've drank great hot chocolate made with milk in some restaurants, so it is possible.
