Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Cocoa
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar/Sweetener
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients before starting; use fresh, high-quality cocoa and adjust sugar if your cinnamon is naturally sweet.
  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisk until smooth with no clumps, and store extra mix in an airtight container.
  • Warm your preferred milk and whisk in a small amount of the chocolate blend to create a creamy, frothy texture.
  • Pour warmed milk into a cup, add one tablespoon of the chocolate mix, stir until fully dissolved, and enjoy your homemade hot chocolate.

Notes

  • Upgrade Your Cocoa: Use high-quality dark chocolate or cocoa powder for a richer, deeper flavor.
  • Sweeten Smartly: Adjust the sweetness to your liking with honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
  • Creamy Perfection: Mix with warm milk instead of water for a luxurious, velvety texture.
  • Spice It Up: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or a pinch of cayenne for a unique twist.
  • Storage Matters: Keep your cocoa mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness and flavor.
  • DIY Gift Idea: Pack it in a cute jar with a ribbon for a cozy, homemade gift.
  • Marshmallow Magic: Top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
