It is nearly time for hot drinks. I was discussing this with a friend the other day, and I have a bunch of these kind of recipes to post, but I have to dig them out. I made this every year for my family of four and we always used it all by the end of the winter.
This is SOOO easy and so much cheaper than buying the individual boxes of individual envelopes of hot cocoa. There's that packaging thing again. That makes this an environmentally friendly thing also! I have been making this since my son was a baby and I had a part time job selling Tupperware-but that was my other life. So here goes...
Quick Hot Instant Hot Cocoa
An 8 quart box of powdered milk
A large box of Nestle's Quick
1 small jar plain coffee creamer
1 C powdered sugar.
Mix all very well in a very large bowl. Keep in an airtight container. I use a huge Tupperware canister, but an old pretzle jar from Sam's works well. I never throw these out. It makes about 15 cups and that works out to about 60 servings. Figure out how much you save!
To serve: Pour 1/4 cup of mix into a mug, add boiling water. If you keep a 2 tablespoon coffee measure in the canister, use two of these per serving. Just stick a label on the canister, so older kids can make thier own. If you heat the water in the microwave, put the mix in after you heat the water or it will boil over. You can also make this with hot milk and it's even healthier. Add milk, marshmallows, peppermint sticks or anything else your heart desires.
Enjoy!
