Frothy Spiced Cocoa Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan heat the milk and ginger over a medium-low heat until scalding, about 4 minutes. While the milk is warming, put cocoa powder and sugar into a mug. Add the water to the mug and stir until the mixture has the consistency of a paste. Remove the ginger from the warmed milk. Add the chocolate mixture to the milk and whisk until slightly frothy. Pour the hot chocolate into the mug and top with chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• Sift all the ingredients for the Spiced Hot Cocoa mix into a large bowl. For each serving, stir 1⁄4 cup mix into 1 cup hot milk. Store the remaining mix in the jar.

Steps:

• You can make this two ways.
• One is by placing all the ingredients into a large saucepan and with an immersion blender, blend everything together for 3 minutes. We want to whip air into it, so it's important to do it for at least 3 minutes.
• If you don't happen to have an immersion blender, you can throw it all into a standing blender and do the same and then pour it into the saucepan. On Medium-high heat stir the cocoa until it almost comes to a boil. DO NOT boil the cocoa, it will change the consistency too much. Turn down to simmer and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, combine all ingredients.
• Mix well.
• Put in resealable container.
• To make cocoa, use 1-2 tablespoons mix per cup of hot milk.
• Serve hot or iced.
