Hot Cocoa for the sick chef...

What do chefs drink when they're sick? Who knows what the rest of the rest of them drink, but I drink this:


Spiced Hot Cocoa

* 25 oz. nonfat milk powder (sifted)

* 13 oz. chocolate malted milk powder

* 16 oz. Valrhona cocoa

* 1/3 cup powdered sugar

* 1/3 teaspoon of cinnamon

*1 dash of cayenne powder

***Marshmallows and or Whipped Cream for topping!

Mix all ingredients and store in airtight container. Stores for 7-9 months without losing flavor. Scoop 1-2 tablespoons into warmed milk and top with marshmallows or whipped cream.

I absolutely love this recipe! I made it up today to help with my crazy cedar fever. The heat and spice cut through the yucky taste of medicine. It warmed my heart and most of all, my tummy when I drank this today. Share this with a person battling the seasonal sniffles or treat yourself to my twist on hot cocoa.
