Instructions
- OPTIONAL: Toast the powdered milk. To do this, preheat oven to 300°F. Spread the powdered milk in a 1/4-inch thick layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes. If it clumps up, which is likely, you may need to pulse the toasted powdered milk in a food processor so it is powdery again.
- Combine all of the ingredients in the bowl of a large food processor. Pulse to evenly combine. This can also be done in a large bowl with a whisk, although you will want to sift through a fine mesh sieve so there aren't clumps. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-6 months.
- To make hot chocolate from the mix, add 4-6 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix to a mug and fill the rest of the way with about 1 cup of hot milk or hot water. Hot water works fine, but the hot chocolate won't be as creamy and rich. Top with marshmallows or whipped cream.
Notes
- Toasting the powdered milk is an idea I got from Alton Brown and I really do think it adds a richness and depth of flavor to the hot chocolate mix that isn't present otherwise.
- Mexican Hot Chocolate Mix: Add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon with the other hot chocolate ingredients.
- Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix: Try finely crushing 8-10 peppermint candy canes and adding them to them mix for a minty flavor.
- For more flavor variations, try replacing 1 cup of the nonfat powdered dry milk with 1 cup of flavored powdered coffee creamer instead.
