Cocoa Recipe
Jocelyn-Mom's cocoa recipe
For one Ten − Twelve ounce mugful:
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder (Droste, Nestle, Hershey etc.)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 3 teaspoons powdered milk
Mix with 1/4 cup evaporated milk and hot water to fill
Stir till all dissolved/suspended.
Dry mix:
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cup dry milk (non-instant preferred)
Store in an air-tight container. Makes about 20 servings/mugsful.
For each serving, mix 2 Tablespoons (coffee measure) of dry mix with 1/4 cup evaporated milk and water to fill in a 10 − 12 ounce mug.
(from 1969 or thereabouts. I did not date the recipe card, but the handwriting is very unformed indeed. I think this was the first recipe I put in the brand-new recipe book I was given as a birthday or Christmas present that year.)
If one is making hot chocolate for 4 to 5 people at once, as after putting up the holiday tree:
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa
- 1/4 cup sugar (4 Tablespoons)
- 3/8 cup dry milk (6 Tablespoons)
OR 3/4 cup of pre-assembled dry mix
- 1 can (12 ounces) Evaporated milk
- 4 1/2 cups water
Mix dry ingredients together in an 8-cup microwave-safe measuring cup or mixing bowl with a pour-spout.
Add condensed milk and water, starting with a little and making a paste and adding more gradually, in order to avoid lumps and clumps.
Microwave until hot.
Alternatively, heat water and milk in a 2-quart saucepan, add dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
