Homemade instant hot chocolate

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Part cocoa powder (I like
Dutched cocoa)
2 Parts sugar
3 Parts powdered milk
OPTIONAL, small amount of
Salt, to taste
OPTIONAL, add a vanilla bean
To the jar where you
Store the mix
OPTIONAL, a small amount of
Cinnamon or nutmeg

Directions

When ready to use, simply place about 3 Tbls. in a mug and fill with very hot water. Make only small quantities and experiment with the ratios until you get it just like YOU like it.

Once you get the proportions just the way you want them, make up a large batch and store it in a sealed jar or coffee can, and Voila, perfect instant cocoa any time you want. You can even store a bag of marshmallows to put on the top for that perfect evening.

P.S., If you want it to have that ever so slightly oily taste that whole milk gives you, then add a very small pat of butter, not margarine, to add a little butterfat to the drink.
