Step-by-Step Instructions
Making my homemade hot cocoa mix is easier than you might think! First, I gather all the ingredients and a large mixing bowl. I start by sifting together the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar to avoid any lumps. This small step makes a huge difference in the smoothness of the final product. Next, I gently fold in the dry milk powder, powdered creamer, vanilla powder, and a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement. The aroma is heavenly, and I can already feel the warmth in my soul!
