- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl or container.
- Use 1/4 cup of the mix per one cup of hot water to prepare a serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a dash of cinnamon to the mix. You can substitute regular dry milk with almond or soy milk powder for a dairy-free version. If you prefer a sweeter hot chocolate, increase the amount of Nestle Quik. This mix can be easily adjusted to suit your taste preferences, similar to the adjustments found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the hot chocolate mix with whipped cream or marshmallows on top for a classic touch. It pairs beautifully with Spinach Appetizers or a slice of Banana Bonanza Cake for a delightful treat. For a fun twist, add a splash of peppermint extract for a seasonal variation.

Store the hot chocolate mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It can last up to six months if stored properly. When you're ready to enjoy a cup, simply mix 1/4 cup of the dry mix with hot water. Avoid reheating the mix directly, as it’s meant to be prepared fresh each time.
