Homemade Hot Chocolate

Homemade Hot Chocolate

Hot-chocolate mix is a wintertime staple. A homemade version is delicious and natural -- containing only cocoa, sugar, and salt -- and especially economical compared with store-bought mixes.

  • Yield Makes 5 3/4 cups dry mix or 92 eight-ounce servings

Ingredients

    • 3 1/2 cups sugar
    • 2 1/4 cups cocoa
    • 1 tablespoon table salt
    • Whole milk for serving

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine sugar, cocoa, and salt, and whisk to combine well. Store the mixture in an airtight container.
  2. For individual servings, pour 1 cup whole milk into a microwave-safe mug, and microwave on high just until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa mix, and stir to dissolve. For a larger batch of cocoa, warm the milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat, taking care not to let the milk boil; as it warms, stir in 2 tablespoons of mix for each cup of milk.

Cook's Note

This mix will keep all winter if stored in an airtight container.
