Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

It's cold. Again. As I write this we're headed toward -11 with a -30 wind chill. So that makes it a perfect evening for some hot chocolate! Once I realized how many ingredients on the store bought packets of hot chocolate aren't things I recognize, I decided to try making my own mix. It turned out to be super simple to make a delicious mix, so I want to share it with you!

It only takes a few ingredients that you probably already have!

You'll need:

2 Cups unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/3 Cups sugar-I used this Washed Raw Sugar but you could use regular sugar, Turbinado, or Sucanat also.

1 tsp salt

Put cocoa and sugar in a blender and blend until sugar is powdered. Mix in the salt and place your mix in a container.

Use about 2 heaping Tablespoons in a mug of hot milk.

You can add a few drops of Vanilla in for a little flavoring if you like, it's good either way!

Now I'm going to make a cup, grab a blanket, and listen to that cold wind blow outside!

What's your favorite cold weather drink?
