Notes

  • For a homemade hot chocolate mix that blends beautifully and looks nicer in the jar, give your milk, sugar, and cocoa powder a quick sift through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any clumps.
  • For the creamiest hot cocoa, mix this DIY cocoa drink mix with whole milk. You can also add some half-and-half for a richer finish.
  • This homemade hot chocolate mix is perfect for gifting. Scoop it into mason jars and decorate with ribbons and a few festive touches.
