Cocoa Time

Even though it is starting to warm up, there is still room for hot cocoa of an afternoon.  I like to make my own mix, usually I just mix it by the cup, but it just occurred to me to make a larger batch. Foolishness, I know. 

Klingon Mom's Hot Cocoa Mix

1.5 cups cocoa powder 

1.25 cups sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cayenne pepper to taste

Whisk all ingredients in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Transfer into a tightly lidded storage container. 

To serve: mix two tablespoons of hot cocoa mix into hot milk. I like to use a small whisk. 

Savor.
