The perfect hot chocolate powder ratio

[purple_teeth_]

Im gonna say it when I get hot chocolate packs only using one honestly tastes not as good so for the past month I’ve been experimenting I’ve been using variables such as water amount and heat and came to the conclusion that atleast one and a half tastes pretty good the limit is two packets of hot chocolate powder mix

Hot cocoa packets? Heathens.

To be fair, no we don't do this every week at our house, although after the video came out we did sit down one weekend and try a bunch of them. What we have is a tupperware bucket of Alton Brown's hot cocoa mix (minus the cayenne pepper) sitting in the pantry. Whenever the kids want hot cocoa, they heat up some milk in a saucepan and go to town.

I just use one packet and fill the mug about 6/10 full. It seems to work with some marshmallows added.

My kids are cool with the red chile in theirs, their goto is Mexican hot chocolate. It comes in chunks like round baker's chocolate.

Sometimes I make the kind that the youtube link's recipe page says is French. I tend to drop the brown sugar. Melt in ~70% chocolate, pinch salt, and reduce, stirring until it is pretty thick and silky. For adults, add some Chartreuse.

Open one packet cocoa mix, pour in one packet instant Folgers coffee, one packet creamer, one packet sugar, add canteen water and stir with a stick, ink pen or the plastic spoon if you haven't lost it.  Consistency should be vaguely pudding-like.

Every once in a while we get the Abuelita tablets from Maya's. Kids like those too.

Yeah, we always have that around. When they were little I would always spike it with a little cayenne and cinnamon. Just a little. Now they expect it. A friend does volunteer surgery in central America every year and brings us some disks of drinking chocolate from there that has chile in it. Super good.
