How to Make Sugar Free Hot Cocoa Mix

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, xanthan gum, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the vanilla extract and powdered milk until a smooth, consistent mixture forms. Avoid lumps!
  3. Sift the cocoa mix through a fine-mesh sieve into an airtight container. This ensures a smoother texture in your final drink.
  4. To serve, whisk 2 level tablespoons of the cocoa mix into 8 ounces of very hot water or milk.
  5. Stir well until the cocoa mix is completely dissolved and the drink is frothy and warm. Add a dash of cinnamon or a pinch of sea salt to taste for an extra touch of deliciousness.
  6. Garnish with whipped cream (sugar-free option recommended) or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
