i use just cocoa powder and add in some sugar or honey. then i'll add some spices like nutmeg or cinnamon, cardamom, y'know. vanilla is neat too.
i don't add in marshmallows. sometimes a bit of whipped cream. i also like to make hot cocoa from dark chocolate. just melted in milk.

Any tips for getting a homemade mix to combine with milk properly? Every time I try to make a cup I always get a bunch of clumped dregs at the bottom of my cup.

i've experienced that homemade chocolate mixes way better if you melt a piece of chocolate in milk. i guess the fat binds the cocoa and thus makes it creamier and more homogen. let's see, i'm going to try making one with cocoa powder right now.

1: heat some milk
2: stir in packet of Swiss Miss
3: add two large marshmallows or handful of little ones
4: enjoy

meh, i combined cocoa powder (33% cocoabutter) with a bit of salt, cinnamonand vanilla. mixed it into milk and let it cook up once. stirred in some honey. no problems with blending. it's smooth and homogene.

I like Swiss Miss

Maybe the problem is that I'm adding the mix to milk that I've heated up in the microwave, did you heat yours up on the stove?

Heat up some milk on the stove then stir these bad boys in slowly.

Maybe I'm biased by my culture, but I prefer Filipino-style tablea hot chocolate over Swiss Miss any day.

My family always drinks this every New Year, it's comfy as hell. Highly recommended to use it as dip for pandesal, too.

>not just leaving it at Rumple Minze

151 would make it taste like shit you pleb.

I much prefer melting chocolate than using cocoa powder. I haven't tried hot chocolate tablets though.

My dad used to make me hot chocolate as a kid, for many years. Pretty cozy, as this was in Alaska so it was very cold out.

Started out with packaged stuff, but it quickly escalated into him upping and upping the insanity, going from scratch and trying to get the finished product thicker, denser, and richer each time.

I was pretty much the guineau pig side of the team, but obviously it was a good place to be.

The gold standard was having the spoon stand free in the cocao.

Try adding some caro syrup. Thickens the mixture without changing the flavor much.

Also, I preferred toast (buttered) to dip in - the slight salt of the butter and the crunch of the toast is a better accompaniment than marshmallow.

That sounds really good. I'm imagining something petit chocolat-like. Butter with toast sounds great.

Add two tbs milk to the powder, whisk like crazy with a fork to make a paste, add a bit more milk, whisk like crazy to make it all dissolve, add the rest, stir like a normie so it doesn't spill. Wa la.

>>7288650
or if you are making a lot and not man enough to whisk it, you can just blend that shit.

>>7290393
Thanks, it was very good, at least to my young palate.

But sorry, I don't know what petit chocolate is. Little chocolate?

Google just pulls up chocolate stores and forest gump style boxes of chocolates.

>>7290376
Alaskan here, that sounds crazy thick! My favorite is just SwissMiss, coffee creamer, and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg
