Instructions
Hot cocoa Mix
- Sift cocoa if for the least clumpy mix – but this step is optional. Add everything to a small mixing bowl and toss well to blend.
- Pour into a glass jar or a baggy and seal for future use. When using, be sure not to add whole vanilla bean to cocoa, it really just infuses a lovely essence. For a stronger vanilla flavor, add a few drops to your hot cocoa when making it.
Cloud Cocoa Mug
- Step One: Warm your milk to very hot. Pour into a blender. Add the hot cocoa mix to desired tastes.
- Step Two: Blend on low for 1-3 minutes until well combined and frothy.
- Step Three: Pour the cocoa into mug(s).
- Step Four: Pop cocoa mug into the microwave for about ten to twenty seconds, this helps fluff up the milk a bit more!
- Step Five: Swirl the whipped cream on top. Grate dark chocolate over top. Add optional cinnamon or nutmeg too. Serve!
