Hot Cocoa Mix – Homemade Gift

 In Cooking with KAKE, Drinks, Easy, Recipes

Growing up my mother always had hot cocoa mix in the cupboard. It is a perfect sweet treat. This hot cocoa mix can be added to hot water. It doesn’t need milk because there is powdered milk in the mix. 

It is important to use hot water because the creamer will not dissolve in cold water. If you want lukewarm hot cocoa, just mix with hot water and add an ice cube once the mix is dissolved in the water. 

I am not usually particular about brand name foods, but Mary Sheldon says that you must use Nestle Nesquick brand chocolate flavor powdered drink mix.

Notes

I am not usually brand specific, but this recipe has only been tested with Nestle Nesquick chocolate drink powder.

It is important to use hot water when using the mix because the powdered creamer will not dissolve well in cool water.
