Notes

How To Use the Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix

To make your hot cocoa, spoon 2 or 3 heaping tablespoons of the cocoa mix into a mug.

You will need 10 – 12 ounces of nearly boiling water. Bring the water to a boil, turn it off, and wait about 30 seconds to a minute.

Pour about 1/3 of the water into the mug with the mix and use a small whisk (or a fork if you don’t have one) to stir the mix until it is dissolved.

Then add the remaining water.

Enjoy!

Quantities for both the mix and your mug can be adjusted according to taste.

You can also add a splash of milk or cream to make it extra creamy.

Other Variations:

Try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the mix or 1/3 cup of instant coffee for a mocha version. You could also add cayenne pepper for a Mexican style hot chocolate.
