Whether youve tried making it before, or are new to homemade cocoa altogether, weve decided to make a list of two differentbut oh so deliciousways to make it yourself this month.
Homemade Hot Chocolate
Good Eats Hot Cocoa
Mr. Brown is known for his commitment to intellectually sound cooking. But just because hes smart doesnt mean he lacks effective straightforwardness and simplicity in his recipes. Heres what youll need to make it:
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of dutch-processed cocoa
- 2 cups of powdered milk
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of cornstarch
- A pinch of cayenne pepper to taste
- Hot water
All youll need to do to is take the above ingredientsminus the hot waterand place them in a mixing bowl for storage. Then, simply heat approximately 4 to 6 cups of water or milk on the stove to boil. Fill up your mug halfway with the cocoa and the other half with the milk or water, stir, and voila. Your leftover sealed cocoa mix should store in your cupboards just fine.
The Kitchns Hot Cocoa Mix
The Kitchn has a similar list of ingredients as we listed above, but theyve added their own twist. But this one involves chopping up little bits of bittersweet chocolate along with the cocoa powder. Heres what their recipe looks like for cocoa mix:
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolateat least 60% or greater
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or turbinado sugar
- 3 tablespoons powdered milk
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
You can bring this recipe to life on the stove the same way as above. Just make sure you chop up the chocolate before you mix it together and pour your hot water or milk of choice on top. It stores just fine in an air-tight container. Homemade Hot Chocolate
