Notes
- Use good quality cocoa powder. It makes all the difference.
- You can use low-fat instant milk powder but I like the full fat stuff!
- Measure your ingredients before sifting as it changes the volume.
- Place the mix in the mug and then add the warm milk. It will keep the clumps at bay.
- You can make the your hot chocolate with hot water but I prefer milk. It makes it much creamier and yummier!
- To mix the ingredients, you can add them all to a food processor and pulse a few times. This will also aerate the mixture but it’s not necessary.
