Vegan Instant Hot Cocoa Mix

When it’s really cold out and you’ve been shoveling several feet of snow out of your driveway (I live in New York and I’m from Maine), there’s nothing better to come inside to than steaming hot cocoa. Unfortunately, for vegans, hot cocoa can mean a drawn out process. But I don’t like to wait. So, here is an instant hot cocoa mix that you can make in any amount you want or need and take with you to work or camping or just back outside with you, because you know the plow just went by and ruined all of your hard work…

Instant Hot Cocoa Mix

2 parts powdered soymilk
1 part cocoa powder
1 part granulated sugar

Mix ingredients thoroughly and store in a tightly lidded container.

To prepare, add 8-10 oz hot water to 3-4 tbsp. mix, and stir to combine. If you like more vanilla flavor, add 1/8 tsp. vanilla extract.
