Non-Fat Hot Chocolate Mix for 1

Non-Fat Hot Chocolate Mix for 1

Takes about the same amount of time as instant mix and tastes a hell of a lot better.

This is for those of you who want the non-fat version. It isn’t very sweet (because I prefer it this way) so, adjust the sugar to taste. Also, these measurements are by weight, not volume.*

.5 oz dark cocoa powder

1 oz water

.2 oz vanilla extract

.3 oz sugar

6 oz non-fat milk

Mix everything but the milk in a 10-12oz mug and microwave on high for about 30 seconds or until it boils. Stir until smooth. Add the milk and microwave on high until it is the temperature you like (usually 1-3 minutes). If you want a stronger chocolate taste add .3 oz of chocolate extract.

*FYI .3 oz is a rounded teaspoon and 6oz of milk is about 2/3 fluid measure. This is to give you a fighting chance of getting it right without a kitchen scale.
