Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cocoa mix
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (or powdered sugar for smoother texture)
  • 1 cup powdered milk (or non-dairy powdered creamer for vegan option)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and powdered milk until fully combined. Ensure there are no lumps for the smoothest homemade hot chocolate mix.
  2. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or jar. To make a single serving, mix 3 tablespoons of the hot cocoa mix with 1 cup of hot milk (or water for a lighter version).
  3. Stir well and top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Spiced twist: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cayenne for Mexican hot chocolate flavor. Vegan-friendly: Swap powdered milk for coconut milk powder or almond milk powder. Extra rich: Use half powdered milk and half powdered coffee creamer for a creamier texture.
