Homemade Hot Coca Mix

 

Homemade Hot Coca Mix

This homemade hot chocolate mix is as natural as I could make it. Today we had our first snow fall of the season. Definitely a day for a cozy scrumptious cup of cocoa by the fireplace. With the stocking hung by the chimney with care, St. Nicholas will soon be here.   

Ingredients: 

This yields approximately 4-to-6-quart size jars 

1 package of powdered milk

3 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4 cups of Golden granulated sugar

3 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp salt

Mix everything together so all ingredients are well incorporated.

Directions:

Take your most favorite mug and add 3 to 4 tablespoons of cocoa mix. For that added level of spice you can add a scant pinch of cayenne pepper. That little taste of spice adds a level of heat that warms the pallet.  In a pot put the amount of milk your mug will hold. Add a splash of vanilla. Heat until desired heat level, making sure your milk doesn't curdle. When it reaches desired heat level, add to your mug with cocoa mix in it and stir until everything is mixed. add favorite topping. 

Enjoy the coziness of this delightful drink
