Chai Spiced Hot Chocolate Mix

Chai Spiced Hot Chocolate Mix

Chelsea Colbath
A simple homemade gift idea with a masala chai twist and lots of chocolate in the form of cocoa powder and ground up chocolate chips!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chopped up chocolate
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • 1. Put all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until chocolate chips have been ground into very fine bits. Pour the mixture into a 16-ounce jar and label with these instructions: Add 3 Tablespoons hot chocolate mix to 1 cup of hot milk.

Notes

This recipe yields about 2 cups of hot chocolate mix, or enough to fill one 16-ounce jar. This should yield about 10 cups of prepared hot chocolate, give or take. Feel free to double, triple, etc, if you want to gift several people a jar of this mix. Attaching a pretty tablespoon to the jar would also make for a cute gift presentation!
