Welcome to a cozy world of homemade warmth with this Traditional Hot Chocolate Mix. Perfect for those chilly days when you just want to snuggle up with a comforting mug of goodness. It's a simple recipe that brings a smile with every sip!
The backbone of our mix is powdered milk, which gives your drink its creamy base without needing fresh milk on hand. The unsweetened cocoa powder is where the rich, chocolaty flavor comes from, while the combination of granulated sugar and powdered sugar provides the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. A touch of non-dairy creamer adds extra creaminess, and a pinch of salt enhances all the flavors, making them pop. Finally, the vanilla extract rounds everything out with a hint of warmth and depth.
Pair your hot chocolate with a slice of buttery toast or a freshly baked cookie. For an extra treat, top your drink with whipped cream and a sprinkle of shaved chocolate. It's also delightful alongside a cozy blanket and a good book.
Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Pour in the powdered milk, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, non-dairy creamer, and salt. Use a whisk to thoroughly mix these dry ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps and everything is evenly distributed. Once that's done, add the vanilla extract. Stir it all together until the vanilla is evenly mixed throughout the powder. The mixture should be consistent in color and texture. Transfer your mix into an airtight container for storage. When you're ready for a cup, simply add 1/4 cup of the mix to a mug of hot water or milk and stir until it's smooth and delightful.
