...but I needed a packable version as well...so I searched the net and found Alton Brown's version for a Hot Chocolate mix...
...I got out my powdered soy milk...some powdered sugar and my favorite cocoa...
...first I copied the recipe into my binder...and dontchyajusluv how I use my stovetop as counter space...that's 'cuz my counter is still full of tomatoes...
...just mixed everything up in a big bowl...
...trying to get most of the lumps out...
...then of course we have to give it a try...
...pour in some hot water...I didn't let it quite get to the boiling point...then I would have had to wait until it cooled to drink it...
...gave it a good stir...look how foamy it is...
...it makes a perfect breakfast drink now...and I'm sure it will also be a good warming drink around a campfire on a cool fall evening...

ReplyDeleteFunny, this is the 2nd vegan hot cocoa recipe I saw today. It's that time of year! I've tried making something similar before, using the powdered soy milk, and that's all I could taste. But you've inspired me to try again.
ReplyDeleteWell, you taught me some once again. I will be mixing up a batch of this for the crew here. I heard we have a cold front blowing in this weekend so it will be perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks yummy. I was quite taken by surprise by the cayenne!
