Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Mix

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Mix

I ran out of hot cocoa mix ages ago and because it was the. best. summer. ever. I never bought any to replace it. And I shouldn’t really because homemade hot chocolate mix is so easy to whip up, just a little cocoa powder, a little sugar, pinch of salt and sift, stir into warm milk, done.

For fall though I thought I’d make it spicy and sumptuous by adding the favorite flavors of fall, cinnamon, cardamom, fresh nutmeg and a hint of cloves. This easy to put together Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Mix hits the spot in smell and flavor on these now cool fall evenings. And because it’s made with real milk not milk powder you can make it vegan or allergy friendly with your choice of dairy alternatives. As an added bonus you can absolutely make this hot chocolate mix for a gift, in fact I highly recommend it!
