Yes, you absolutely can make delicious hot cocoa from cacao powder; it's the base ingredient, requiring just milk (or water/plant milk), a sweetener (like maple syrup or honey), and optional vanilla/salt, whisked together and heated until warm and smooth, often by making a slurry first to avoid lumps before heating.

Basic Cacao Hot Chocolate Recipe
This video shows a simple way to make hot chocolate using cacao powder:
Ingredients:
• 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 tablespoons cacao powder
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or other sweetener
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt (enhances flavor, optional) [2, 3, 4]
Instructions:
1. Combine: In a saucepan, whisk the cacao powder with a small amount of cold milk to form a smooth paste (a slurry) to prevent lumps.
2. Add & Whisk: Add the remaining milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt to the saucepan.
3. Heat: Warm the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently, until it's hot and simmering (don't boil).
4. Serve: Pour into mugs and enjoy plain or with toppings like marshmallows. [2, 3, 4, 5]
Pro Tips:
• For smoother results: Blending it in a blender also works great to combine ingredients thoroughly.
• Adjust sweetness: Taste before serving and add more sweetener if desired. [2, 6]
