Dry Mix Ingredients
- 1 cup cocoa powder (a mix of dark and standard for balance)
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sweetener of choice (allulose or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup powdered creamer (or powdered milk)
Instructions
- Make the Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, sea salt, and powdered creamer. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and uniform in texture.
- Store the Mix: Transfer the combined dry mix into a jar or an airtight container to keep it fresh and ready for future use.
- Prepare Hot Chocolate: For a single serving, add 2 tablespoons of the dry mix (without powdered creamer if preferred) into a large mug or cup.
- Add Hot Water: Pour hot water into the mug with the dry mix and stir vigorously until the mixture is completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth, rich base.
- Add Heated Milk: Pour in heated milk of your choice and stir well to combine all the flavors. This step adds creaminess and balances the chocolate intensity.

Notes
- You can omit the powdered creamer for a lighter version or if you prefer to add your own milk or cream separately.

- For vegan adaptation, opt for a plant-based powdered creamer and use non-dairy milk when preparing the drink.
