I’ve long promised Karina that I’ll send her a package but never got around or had the chance to do it. I finally got the time to do it recently, and in the midst of excitement, I made the wrong assumption that it was winter in Melbourne (because it’s winter in Qatar). Then I realized she’s in the southern hemisphere and it’s blazing hot summer there. But I’ve already made this little mix and will send it her way anyways, for whenever she feels like having a cuppa :)

Mocha Cocoa Mix in a Jar (Makes 6 servings):

Layer (in a jar): [1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder + 1/2 cup granulated sugar + 1/4 cup espresso powder, 1/2 cup powdered milk + 1/2 teaspoon salt + and 1/4 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate or miniature chocolate chips]

To serve:

Mix contents in a large bowl. For each serving, place 1/3 cup cocoa mix in a mug and stir in 1 cup boiling water. Store remaining mix in airtight container.”

Enjoy!
