Instructions

In a small saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, malted milk powder, and salt.
Gradually whisk in about 1/4 cup of the milk to form a smooth paste.

Heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and steaming, but not boiling, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
