How to Make Hot Cocoa Just Add Boiling Water

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, powdered milk, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add the cornstarch and whisk again until no lumps remain.
  3. Sift the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into an airtight container. This removes any remaining lumps and ensures a smoother cocoa.
  4. To serve, add 1/4 cup of the mix to a mug. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of boiling water until smooth and frothy.
  5. Top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of deliciousness!
