As I taught an Eighth Grade English class the meaning of the word panacea, I decided that I do indeed believe chocolate is a panacea. Here’s my formula for a drinkable wintertime, evening time, good time, or sorry time panacea:
IN A SAUCE PAN combine
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup white sugar
generous sprinkling of cinnamon
MELT together on MEDIUM HEAT
STIRRING constantly with a WHISK
ADD
3-4 cups of milk, your preferred thickness and chocolate-ness
TURN UP THE HEAT
HEAT through the milk
makes about 4 cups of panacea
Naphtalia 
mmm… panacea!
Outstanding! I will give this one a try. Toast: “Here’s to Panacea!”
