Instructions
Blender Instructions
Combine all ingredients into blender and blend on high speed for 1 minute. If it gets stuck, pulse for 10-15 second intervals instead.
Give the blender carafe a few shakes, or open and stir, then repeat until the mix is uniform with no streaks.
Transfer to a clean, dry, airtight container and store until ready for use.
Sieve Instructions
Measure ingredients into a bowl, give them a quick couple of stirs to combine slightly.
Scoop ingredients into a sieve over a second bowl and press through to get rid of any clumps.
Stir to make sure ingredients are well combined (no streaks of white).
Transfer into clean, dry, airtight container and store.
To make Hot Cocoa:
Add 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of mix to cup, pour 8 oz of hot milk** over the top while stirring until combined.
Notes
*Brown sugar can be replaced with coconut sugar or turbinado sugar. If desired you can use granulated or cane sugar as well, but they don't have the same richness.**Any HOT liquid, such as water, non-fat milk, or non-dairy milk can be used. Water will produce a less creamy cup, and non-dairy milks may affect flavor. Oat milk is my favorite alternative.***I recommend shaking or stirring the mix before making a cup if the mix has been sitting. The contents may settle and separate.
