Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Choose a cocoa with a deep chocolate color for a richer drink.
- 1 cup powdered sugar Use a fine powdered sugar so the mix dissolves quickly.
- 1 cup non-dairy milk powder This ingredient gives the mix a creamy texture without adding liquid.
Instructions
Mixing the Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and non-dairy milk powder.
- Stir gently with a whisk to ensure the powders meet evenly.
- Work through any clumps until the mix looks smooth and even.
Storing the Mix
- Store the mix in an airtight container, preferably a glass jar with a tight lid to preserve the aroma.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct light for up to three months.
Preparing Hot Cocoa
- To prepare hot cocoa, mix 2-3 tablespoons of the cocoa mix with hot water or your choice of non-dairy milk.
- Stir until dissolved and enjoy!
- For a richer cup, whisk it in a small saucepan over low heat until glossy and steaming.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla or a pinch of salt. This recipe is forgiving—adjust sweetness to your preference, and for a thicker cup, use warmed canned full-fat coconut milk in place of water.
