Figure 1 - Recipe card

Short post today! It’s starting to get cold out, making it the perfect time for hot chocolate. The idea behind this recipe is that all you need to do is add hot water. I think this recipe tastes creamier than the hot chocolate powder you can buy at the store. It’s also easier to make than heating milk with hot chocolate powder on the stove. The recipe card calls for an ungodly quantity of each ingredient. My dad has passed on the following heuristic for how much of each ingredient to get.

Hope you enjoy the recipe!
