Hot Cocoa Mix

16 cups powdered dry milk
1 ¼ cup cocoa powder
5 cups crystalized cane juice or Sucanat*
½ tsp salt

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Keep mixture stored in an airtight container or zip lock storage bags. You can run the mix through blender a few cups at a time for a smoother finish to mixture. You can also 1/2 this recipe to make less.

For a gift package in glass canning jars and attach a card that says "For a delicious cup of hot cocoa, put 1/3 cup mix into a large mug, pour in bowling water, stir, and enjoy."

Sucanat is a natural form of sugar that can be found in health food stores or the organic section of your grocery store. It is closer to a brown sugar and a great alternative if you can find it.
