Hot Chocolate Mix—just add water
*******
Something to have on hand during the winter.
Shannon, Greg and Natalie like to add marshmallows to
the mix and store it that way.
That way we’re not disappointed if there
aren’t marshmallows in the cupboard each time we make a cup.
Cayenne
makes the cocoa even better. It’s a
great teaching lesson for children on how things such as
salt
and hot pepper bring out sweet and chocolate flavors.
2 C powdered sugar
1 C cocoa
(Dutch-process preferred)
2½ C powdered
milk (eliminate if intolerant to dairy, and stir dry mix in to liquid rice milk to
serve)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cornstarch
1 pinch cayenne pepper,
or more to taste
***
Add-ins: mini marshmallows; mini chocolate chips;
cinnamon; ginger; vanilla, etc
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing
bowl and incorporate evenly. Store
in airtight container. Keeps
indefinitely in pantry. Great as
gifts.
- Fill your mug 1/3 to 1/2 full with the
mixture and pour in hot water. Stir to combine. This also works great with
warm milk (extra rich). The cayenne is almost
indistinguishable. It is really the key because without it and the salt,
the cocoa is bitter.
