How to make Hot Chocolate Mix
All you need is some basic ingredients that need to be combined with each other to make a jar full of this mix
To make the mix, you need a combination of ingredients like chocolate, thickening agent, sweetener and more chocolate
All of these ingredients need to be in a dry form with no much moisture. It will then stay longer and is easy to store
Ingredients
Cocoa powder
Cocoa powder is one of the most important ingredients. Use the finest quality of dark rich cocoa powder to make this mix. The better the cocoa powder, the better will your hot chocolate taste
Sugar
Sugar is what adds sweetness to this recipe. Castor or breakfast sugar is best to use. It has lesser moisture and thus makes sure the mix stays longer. Feel free to use regular granulated sugar if no option
Corn flour
Cornflour is a thickening agent. This is essential for a thick and silky hot chocolate texture. If no corn flour, the drink will be a simple chocolate drink and not a thick creamy one
Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
It is optional, but I definitely recommend adding it to the mix. Adding good quality real chocolate chips or chopped chocolate chunks yields a richer taste. Pure dark chocolate or milk chocolate would be great !! So no skipping this one
Salt
A pinch of salt is key to bring out all the flavors
Does hot chocolate mix go bad?
Not really !! There is nothing in it that will spoil easily. Skipping the milk powder helps in storing it for a long long time. Store the mixture in an airtight container and use as required
Tip: Always insert a dry spoon in the mix while making a cup of hot chocolate
