Copycat Alton Brown Dairy Free Hot Cocoa Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large airtight container. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to combine, and remember to shake prior to every extraction. (I sift together into a bowl, then store in a one-quart mason jar with a reusable plastic lid).
• To serve: Place 2 tablespoons of the mix in a mug and add about 2 fluid ounces hot water (if using powdered milk) or milk/dairy alternative. Stir to combine. Fill the mug with more hot water or milk/dairy alternative and enjoy. (I found 3 tablespoons mix to approximately 6 oz hot coconut milk to be my preference).
• * The Aztecs always added chiles to their chocolate. Even a pinch ups the flavor ante quite a bit, and as called for here certainly won't be sensed as "heat.".
• No matter - this is fast, easy and will keep for a year if kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. In a small pot, heat 4 to 6 cups of water.
• Fill your mug half full with the mixture and pour in hot water. Stir to combine. Seal the rest in an airtight container, keeps indefinitely in the pantry. This also works great with warm milk.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. Seal in airtight container till ready to use.
• Warm water or dairy-alternative.
• Alton's directions at the above-mentioned web address state to fill mug half-full with mix and add liquid. I can't do dairy so my experience is without the bulk of the pwd milk. I put 3 T in my mug, add a little of my warmed coconut milk and mix well. Add a bit more coconut milk, mix, and continue until filled and thoroughly incorporated.
