Ingredients
Instructions

- To serve, place 2 rounded teaspoonfuls in a cup of boiling water.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa. You can substitute the sugar with a sugar alternative like stevia or erythritol for a lower-calorie option. If you want a creamier texture, try adding more coffee creamer or even some whipped cream on top when serving. This mix can also be used in desserts, such as brownies or the World'S Easiest Dump Cake.
Serving Suggestions
To serve, dissolve 2 rounded teaspoonfuls of the mix in a cup of boiling water, stirring well. For a delightful twist, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. This drink pairs beautifully with a slice of Cream Pie Recipe or even some homemade cookies for a cozy afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store the chocolate mocha drink mix in an airtight container at room temperature, away from moisture. It can last up to six months. When you're ready to enjoy it, simply scoop out the desired amount and mix it into boiling water. Avoid exposing the mix to humidity, as this can cause clumping.
