Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Cocoa
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons Powdered Soy Milk or Regular Powdered Milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a whisk.
  • Transfer to an airtight container.

To Make Hot Chocolate

  • Heat a 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups of milk in the microwave.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix.
  • Add in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have powdered milk on hand you can leave it out of the mix. But I think it does make the mix more creamy. For the dairy free option, I use Better Than Milk Powder Milk Alternative or Vance's DariFree for the powdered milk.
