Tips and Tricks for Making the BEST Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

whisking the hot cocoa mix into a small amount of hot water first is the best way to ensure there are no chocolate lumps in your drink.

Tip #1

Use any kind of milk you’d like to make this cocoa recipe. Both the milk and half and half can be replaced with almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk or soy milk.

Tip #2

High quality cocoa powder is essential. This is the main flavor you will be enjoying in the cocoa so picking a rich, decadent cocoa powder is a must!

Tip #3

Add ½ cup powdered milk to the dry ingredient mix. Give the powdered mix as a gift with instructions to simply add 5 cups of hot water to create 4 mugs of cocoa.
