Start by gathering your dry powdered milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. In a blender, combine all these ingredients, ensuring they are well distributed. Blend on high for 30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and finely mixed.

Once blended, carefully transfer the hot cocoa mix into an airtight glass jar. Include a scoop for easy measuring.

To prepare cocoa, boil fresh water until steaming. In an 8-ounce mug, spoon in ¼ to ½ cup of your hot cocoa mix and pour boiling water over. Stir vigorously for about 30 seconds until fully blended and smooth.

Customize your cocoa by adding spices or toppings like cinnamon, vanilla, mini marshmallows, or whipped cream.
