Homemade HOT COCOA Mix Recipe | Dairy-Free & Regular | EASY and DELICIOUS

[@pearlhall3787]

Its much easier if you put the milk in a measuring cup to heat. Then, put the cocoa in a mug & pour half of the heated milk into the mug. It stirs much better this way, with no mess. Once ;mixed well, add the remaining milk & stir gently. This is how I do my hot cocoa with easier stirring & no spilling.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

@@pearlhall3787 yes, we typically do the same.

[@IterelengSMGauteng]

Definitely making,thanks for sharing, God bless you and your family

[@SarahMarie-j2n]

Love how simple this is. I typically heat almond milk on the stovetop, but microwave definitely works. Pro tip, if you add a few drops of pepermint extract or any other extract into it, or even a teaspoon of flavored creamer, you can really elevate the taste, so good!

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

@@SarahMarie-j2n yep, we get that. Once our microwave takes a poo (or we decide to yank it out), it’s not being replaced other than with a nice exhaust hood. Thanks for the suggestion about taking the cocoa to the next level.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

You are welcome. Let us know how you like it. Blessings!

[@jackiepe5130]

I think I’ll try it with date sugar

[@iluvthekjv1611]

i made the regular one. before you all jump me ,keep in mind taste is subjective. it was good, but i had to use way more than 2 T of it to get rid of the thin, watery taste of the hot cocoa. thanks for sharing.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Everyone has their preferred richness. We appreciate your feedback. Praying that you receive many blessings.

[@pearlhall3787]

I agree. I make mine more chocolate rich as well. My husband likes his weak, as he is not big on chocolate, lol.

[@americanpie123]

This is awesome. Never will buy store bought again. Thank you. Haven't seen you on here. Hope all is well.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

We’re doing well, current life circumstances make it a challenge to create videos. We plan to get back at it once things settle down.

[@americanpie123]

Love it. Thanks

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

You are welcome. Thank you for watching. Have a blessed week.

[@Agenda21Truth1]

Been making mine since the 80's!👍🏼😁

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

That’s terrific! 😁 is there any tips or things you like?

[@Agenda21Truth1]

@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving I love your addition of Chocolate Chips, I like to use the De Vincci Flavorings in mine.👍🏼

[@anotherchangedlife]

A milk frother would make it so easy as it whisks and heats the milk!

[@Adeline9418]

I'll put stevia in my dairy free cocoa mix.

[@starbook5]

Can you do without the cane sugar but use the cocoa powder with almond milk instead to mixing

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Alter the recipe however you feel is best. If the almond milk is unsweetened, the taste may be undesirable without some sugar.

[@robertasmith1888]

How can you say the one on the left is dary free when you put milk in it.?

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

There’s no powdered milk in the dry mix nor added to the cup. Almond milk was used to make the hot chocolate in the dairy free version. Watch closer.

[@bydempsey]

Thank you for the info! But quick question……why do you have the cacao powder in the shot? Can you use that inSTEAD of the unsweetened cocoa powder? I use it to make vegan choc dip for fruit all the time but it would be great if I could use it here too!

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

It’s the same thing as unsweetened cocoa powder. On the label of unsweetened cocoa powder it usually states “100% cacao” in a smaller font.

[@bydempsey]

@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving perfect -thanks so much!

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

@@bydempsey you’re welcome!

[@Renee-c3p]

How long do these last in the jar?

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

We still have more than half a jar left from last year and it’s unchanged from the day it was made. As long as it’s kept in an airtight container, it will last a very long time.

[@bparrish517]

Thank you…and just wondering, Is your channel monetized? I watch all ads for at least 30 seconds in order to follow their rules for channel compensation. I certainly wouldn’t if KZbin did not compensate you.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Some of it is but don’t let that impact your time. We always appreciate your comments and time. Thank you!

[@SaraHope-ni1jx]

Could you please tell me the brand and size of the countertop burner you use for the 930 canner. I am having trouble finding a good size.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Our portable burner is made by Cadco/Broil King, a solid cast burner in stainless housing. Model PCR-1S, 1500 watts, commercial cooking appliance. Purchased from Amazon.

[@JennTheFrugalMom]

Can I use hot water instead of the milk?

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Yes, as stated in the video. The dairy free mix will taste best with a non-dairy milk for creaminess, but can be used with plain water if desired.

[@JennTheFrugalMom]

@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving oops sorry 😞, thank you again

[@sanddragon7]

Ok so you just take the mix and add water or milk? Sorry to ask a dumb question.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Yes! If using the dairy free mix, add your favorite hot dairy-free milk. If using the regular mix, add hot water, hot milk, or hot black coffee (for a mocha). Merry Christmas!

[@ka-peach7945]

Looks great. I'm going to substitute stevia for the poison though.

[@tomg6498]

Please, skip the cane suger. There are plenty of sugar substitutes that are a better choice for a healthier diet. Enjoy.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Thank you for your opinion.

[@xXxSapphir3xXx]

All of which change the flavor. It's a chocolate drink, enjoy it.

[@experiencedwitness2575]

Monk fruit

[@cocacolafiesta]

oh brother!🤦🏼‍♂️Just skip it if you want as no one is forcing YOU to have it! Say thank you for the recipe, remove the sugar, make your changes and move on!

[@virginiabaker2966]

Too sweet. I’ll cut back on sugar next time.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

That is the nice part about making your own, it can be tailored to your taste.

[@albertogonzales2854]

Wow I have the same cup

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

@@albertogonzales2854 lol, good 👍🏻

[@Sherryrice4149]

Is powdered milk real milk. 😏🤔

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

@@Sherryrice4149 yes, freeze dried real milk. Tastes exactly like fresh milk.
