Alton Brown Hot Cocoa Mix Can Be Dairy Free Recipes

ALTON BROWN'S HOT COCOA MIX (CAN DO DAIRY-FREE)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large airtight container. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to combine, and remember to shake prior to every extraction. (I sift together into a bowl, then store in a one-quart mason jar with a reusable plastic lid).
• To serve: Place 2 tablespoons of the mix in a mug and add about 2 fluid ounces hot water (if using powdered milk) or milk/dairy alternative. Stir to combine. Fill the mug with more hot water or milk/dairy alternative and enjoy. (I found 3 tablespoons mix to approximately 6 oz hot coconut milk to be my preference).
• * The Aztecs always added chiles to their chocolate. Even a pinch ups the flavor ante quite a bit, and as called for here certainly won't be sensed as "heat.".
• No matter - this is fast, easy and will keep for a year if kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. Seal in airtight container till ready to use.
• Warm water or dairy-alternative.
• Alton's directions at the above-mentioned web address state to fill mug half-full with mix and add liquid. I can't do dairy so my experience is without the bulk of the pwd milk. I put 3 T in my mug, add a little of my warmed coconut milk and mix well. Add a bit more coconut milk, mix, and continue until filled and thoroughly incorporated.
• (Somebody else has posted his homemade marshmallows on food.com if you're so inclined. I haven't tried them yet.).
