Step 4

Keep cocoa mix in an airtight container until ready to use. It will keep in the cupboard up to a year.

Step 5

To make hot chocolate, use about 3-4 Tbsp of hot chocolate mix for each cup of water. (You can also use milk.) Heat slowly in a saucepan, whisking to get everything dissolved. Heat until it gets steamy hot and is smooth and creamy. Enjoy with whipped cream and shaved chocolate, if desired.
