Hot Chocolate Mix

Perfect for your valentine sweeties, young and old. We just made a batch for my son's preschool teacher and friends, packaged in small mason jars with instructions on top. (from Babble)

2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa (I used Ghirardelli)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of cayenne pepper

Sift together all ingredients, then store in airtight container(s). Great for giving, but make sure to keep some for yourself!

*To serve, scoop 1/4 cup mix into the bottom of a mug. Add 1 cup of very hot milk and stir well. (I use the microwave to heat the milk for about 1 1/2 minutes.)
