OK, enough complaining! What's the best warming drink when you come it from the cold? Hot Chocolate!!! But...have you ever read the ingredients on that box of hot chocolate mix from the grocery? Not to mention how much it costs! Good Grief!
Mother always made hot chocolate from scratch, in a pan, on the stove...it was so good!!! But who has time for that? Our husbands and children would never manage a stove-top hot chocolate and we wouldn't want them to. This instant version is EASY! Tastes like homemade, is inexpensive and chances are, you have most of the ingredients in your pantry!
Instant Hot Chocolate Mix
Equipment:
Large bowl
Fine mesh colander
jars with lids
Set colander inside the large bowl and begin adding dry ingredients:
4 cups Powdered Sugar
2 cups Cocoa Powder
5 cups Dry Milk Powder
2 tsps. Fine Salt
4 tsps. Corn Starch
Stir lightly to combine and sift the ingredients through the colander into the bowl. (Don't skip this step! This will allow all the ingredients to be fine enough to dissolve fully in hot water!) Stir again to insure that the mix is well combined. Spoon into clean jars. Makes about 2 1/2 quarts of dry mix.
Fill cup/mug 1/2 full of mix and add hot water. I like to add the water in 2 stages, enough to blend and dissolve the powder and then to finish filling the cup.
ENJOY!!!!!
