Dark Hot Cocoa Mix

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to incorporate the mixture evenly; the mixture should be one uniform color.

Store in airtight containers in a cool, dark place. This will keep indefinitely, as long as mixture stays dry.

To make a single serving of hot cocoa:  Combine 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup milk in a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a rapid simmer. Whisk in 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dark hot cocoa mix until completely dissolved and foamy. Pour into a heatproof mug and enjoy.
