Instructions

  • Gather all your ingredients and have them measured and ready. This makes mixing quick and easy.
  • Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, and sugar in a small bowl. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined, and there are no lumps.
  • Add a spoonful of the dry mix to a mug and pour warm whole milk, stirring well to dissolve. You can also use a mug with a stirrer for better mixing.

Notes

  • Use hot milk, not boiling: Pouring milk that’s too hot can affect the texture and taste of the hot chocolate.
  • Adjust sweetness: If you like a sweeter drink, add more sugar or your favorite clean sweetener. Dark chocolate chips for this recipe make it more tasty.
  • Double the batch: Make a bigger batch of the mix if you plan to use it often so it’s always ready to go.
  • Milk: Dry milk powder can be used if you don't have whole milk. Powdered milk works the same.
