Alright, let’s talk about making some hot chocolate drink powder. You know, the kind you can just scoop into a mug, add hot water, and boom – instant cozy.
First off, I gathered all the stuff I needed. This was pretty basic: cocoa powder, sugar, powdered milk, and a pinch of salt. I also grabbed some mini marshmallows because, why not? It’s all about that extra touch, right?
I started by mixing the dry ingredients. I dumped a good amount of cocoa powder into a big bowl – I mean, it’s hot chocolate, so you gotta go heavy on the chocolate. Then I added the sugar. Now, some people like it super sweet, but I prefer mine a bit more balanced, so I didn’t go overboard.
Next up was the powdered milk. This is what gives it that creamy texture when you add the hot water. I sprinkled in a decent amount, making sure everything was getting evenly distributed. And then, the secret weapon – a pinch of salt. Sounds weird, but trust me, it really brings out the chocolate flavor.
Mixing it up!
Once everything was in the bowl, I took a whisk and started mixing. You want to make sure there are no clumps and everything is blended nicely. It took a few minutes, but you’ll see it all come together into this beautiful, chocolatey powder.
- Cocoa powder – the star of the show
- Sugar – for that sweet kick
- Powdered milk – creamy goodness
- Salt – flavor enhancer
- Mini marshmallows – because life is short
After mixing, I grabbed an airtight container and poured the powder in. This is important because you don’t want any moisture getting in and ruining your mix. I also added a handful of those mini marshmallows on top, just for fun.
Finally, the moment of truth – testing it out. I boiled some water, scooped a few spoonfuls of the mix into a mug, and poured the hot water over it. A quick stir, and it was ready to go. I even threw in a few more marshmallows on top because, well, I love marshmallows.
And there you have it – homemade hot chocolate drink powder. It’s simple, it’s delicious, and it’s way better than the store-bought stuff. Plus, you can tweak the ingredients to your liking. Give it a try, and let me know how it turns out!
