A few years ago, I was an avid Food Network fan. I was on that channel all the time. Now, Cooking Channel peaks my interest more often but still, most things on there, let's be honest, I will never make. You get more than 5 ingredients and my eyes glaze over. Anyway, one show that I will watch over and over again is Good Eats. The other day, there was a Chocolate episode on and he made his own Cocoa mix. I thought it would make great Christmas gifts so I gave it a try.
Homemade Cocoa Mix
2 1/2 cups Powdered Milk
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 cup Cocoa Powder
2 tsp Corn Starch
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Mix thoroughly and store in an air tight container. Will keep for up to 2 years.
To Make Cocoa, put about 3 tbsp of mix in a cup and pour boiling water over to fill the cup about half way. Mix well and then fill the cup the rest of the way and enjoy.
My first batch, I made according to the recipe above. The cayenne added a kick but my husband hated it. My next batch was made without it and we both preferred it. (A little cayenne goes a LONG way so be careful.) I have even added the cocoa mix to my coffee and it made a great mocha. Give this a try, you won't be sorry.
