Ingredients
  1. 4 Cups Truvia (table sugar can be substituted)
  2. 3 Cups Cocoa
  3. 1 1/4 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  4. Skim Milk as needed, per cup
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine sugar, cocoa, and salt, and whisk to combine well.
  2. Store the mixture in an airtight container; I use canisters from the Dollar Tree.
  3. For individual servings, pour 1 cup milk into a microwave-safe mug.
  4. Microwave on high just until hot.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa mix, and stir to dissolve; usually takes one minute.
  6. For a larger batch of cocoa, warm the milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat, taking care not to scald the milk; add mix as needed.
Notes
  1. This mix is as delicious as it is economical. I am able to buy the ingredients at my local Sam's Club for under $7.00, with the exception of the Kosher Salt and canisters which I purchase at my local Dollar Tree, which makes a years worth of cocoa for my family. Compare these savings to the individual packs of Swiss Miss, and you will save 85% off shelf pricing! Here's to saving!
