I've been using this homemade hot chocolate mix for years, but recently discovered it's excellent to bring to a crowd too!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups organic cane sugar
  • cups raw cacao
  • 1 teaspoon good salt

Instructions
 

Hot Chocolate Mix

  • Set out a quart jar with a lid.
  • Measure 1 cup of sugar into the jar, stir the salt into it. Add 1 cup cocoa, 1 cup sugar, then the last ½ cup of cocoa. Put a lid on and shake well.

Hot Chocolate Recipe

  • To make a cup (or just a few cups) of HOT chocolate measure out your milk (we use a mug to gauge how much we will need) into a pot.
  • For every mug of hot chocolate use 1 tablespoon of mix. Warm it up and serve!

Instant Pot Hot Chocolate for a Crowd

  • Pour a gallon of milk into your Instant Pot, turn it onto sauté to get it warming up.
  • Measure in 1 cup of hot chocolate mix. Keep an eye on it and stir the milk so it doesn't burn to the bottom. Keep whisking to mix in the hot chocolate mix as it warms up.
  • When it's hot enough, turn on to "keep warm," leave the lid off, and your guests can help themselves!

Chocolate Milk

  • Fill a half gallon jar ⅔ of the way full with milk.
  • Add ½ cup hot chocolate powder, and blitz with an immersion blender. (Or you could just do a couple cups of milk and the powder in a normal blender, and mix into the rest of the milk) then top up the jar with more milk.
  • Give it a shake before you pour as some will settle.

Notes

  • I talk about in the youtube video the difference between raw cacao and cocoa and if you only have/have access to cocoa, by all means use it, but if you can order raw cacao from somewhere like Om Foods for a really reasonable price, please do!
