Spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate Mix
 
Prep time
Total time
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Dutch-process cocoa { like Bernard Callebaut }
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • Hot water
Instructions
  1. Combine everything from the powdered sugar to the cayenne pepper in a large mixing bowl and whisk to blend thoroughly. Store in an airtight container, this will keep indefinitely.
  2. Spoon mixture up to 1/3 of your mug and fill with hot water. Stir and top up with hot water once blended. You can also substitute hot milk for the water, but I found this to be rich enough using hot water.
  3. There is a subtle spicy flavor that could be adjusted to taste by adding more cayenne powder.
