Using Your Hot Chocolate Mix
- Use 1 tablespoon of hot chocolate mix per 1/4 cup of milk (dairy or unsweetened nondairy).
- Stovetop method (preferred): Heat milk and hot chocolate mix in a small pot over medium, whisking frequently, until mixture is smooth, and steam comes off the milk.Microwave method: Heat milk for 1-2 minutes on high until steam is coming off the milk. Add the hot chocolate mixture and stir well (melted chocolate tends to settle at the bottom, so make sure you stir very well. If you have a milk frother, I recommend you use it!).
Notes
- Use dark chocolate chips and dark cocoa powder for a richer hot chocolate mix.
