Time 6m

Yield 12-15 cups, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups non-fat powdered milk
1 tablespoon skim milk
2 1/2 cups splenda artificial sweetener
1 1/3 cups powdered fat-free non-diary coffee creamer
1 1/3 cups Dutch-processed cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl, and mix with a spoon until well blended. Storing the blend in an air-tight container keeps it tasting good.
  • Buy larger quantities of the ingredients because it's less expensive and you've got a ready supply of raw materials if you open the container and find it empty.
  • Making Cocoa.
  • Heat your water and spoon up 5 teaspoons of hot cocoa mix into a mug and add about a teaspoon of skim milk. Using the teaspoon, blend the milk and dry cocoa mix together until it forms a smooth, thick cocoa sludge in the bottom of the mug. now add your hot water and blend thoroughly.
  • This trick of adding milk and creating a cocoa sludge creates a smoother cup of cocoa, than if you simply added the cocoa mix to hot water.

I posted it as it was printed and although it does not meet low carb standards, it is a very delicious drink.
