ALTON BROWN'S HOT COCOA MIX (CAN DO DAIRY-FREE)

Alton Brown's Hot Cocoa Mix (Can Do Dairy-Free) image

When I had to give up dairy I sorely missed hot cocoa (I'm not a coffee drinker). Thanks to a friend sharing an Alton Brown post on fb--and comments from others of how well it works to skip the powdered milk--I FINALLY get to easily enjoy hot chocolate without starting WWIII with my body. I personally use 3T mix to approximately 6 oz. coconut milk. Success has been reported with all dairy alternatives (almond, etc); play with quantities to find your perfect fit. Original recipe can be found at http://altonbrown.com/hot-cocoa-mix-recipe/.

Time 12m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, dutched preferably
2 1/2 cups nonfat dry milk powder (skip if doing dairy-free version)
1 teaspoon salt, fine grain
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)

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.
