Hot Cocoalate Mix Recipe From The More With Less Mom
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate squares, chopped (the better the quality the better it will taste, but you can use generic for this)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 1 pinch cayenne
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and grind until powdery, about 30 seconds. If you process it too long it will get too warm and melt your chocolate. It is better to have little chunks of chocolate than to melt it. This is why you have to pre-chop your chocolate.
- Store in a mason jar or other air-tight container. For 6 months or so, which means you can make this gift way ahead.
- If you want to be fancy you can heat your milk on the stove, but if I'm just making a single serving I microwave in a mug for 2 minutes. Add 2 Tbl of mix to 1 c of milk and stir to combine. You can use water, but if you're bothering to spend the money on chocolate squares for the ingredients why would you cheap out on the liquid?
