    IMO you could add a couple dashes of cinnamon too. Also if you add half a teaspoon of corn starch to that mix it will help keep it from clumping. I think it helps thicken the hot chocolate a little too. I have been making my own hot chocolate mixes for years. Dark chocolate is good to change up the taste too.

    My hint would be adding a bit of whole milk powder (of course for non-vegans) to the mix (and maybe a dash of soy lecithin) to give the final hot chocolate a richer and creamier texture.

  • @mildredthegoat8340
    @mildredthegoat8340 Рік тому +2

    A slight variation that is worth a try: for the spices: a good dash of ground coriander and a small pinch of cinnamon ( for each cup). Cinnamon is a much stronger spice than coriander, so a smaller amount means you can still taste the coriander and it doesn't get overpowered by the cinnamon. Coriander brings out the citrus notes of the chocolate, which is then complemented by the cinnamon. Yum! But I like the sound of the one in the video. Think I'll give it a try. "Variety is the spice of life!"

    That sounds wonderful! I love to add chai masala to my drinking chocolate, and this sounds great for a more gingery option!
    Though so chiming in as a chocolate-type person, Dutch processed cocoa is more mellow yes, but if you want just the best flavor for hot cocoa, you want bean to bar cocoa powder! I usually use Mutari/White Label Chocolate, Marou Chocolate, and Goodnow Farms, all of whom make single origin bean to bar cocoa powder and it's super flavorful! But even jumping to Meridian Cacao's cocoa powder - which is cheaper than Hershey to boot - makes a huge difference, and if you still want that mellowness but with more flavor Soma Chocolate makes a great Dutch process cocoa powder!

    As someone how has had hot cocoa for years! My absolute to go drink is simply 1ts cocoa powder, glass of hot water and some drops of spicy hot sauce. The hot sauce has that fruity habanero taste along with the acidity that bring out the fruitiness of the cocoa. I recommend that you use hot water just to desolve the cocoa, pouring in a small amount to stir it out into a liquid then go in with luke warm water. The effect of the cocoa becomes more mellow and less of that caffeine kick.

    • @OmniversalInsect

    0:38 Strange how that cacao powder is red. Dutch process normally does the opposite, turning the powder dark and more towards purple and black rather than red. If you do want that red color and don't have the same kind, I would suggest natural cacao, if you don't mind the acidity orprefer it over bitterness (Dutch process makes it alkaline). I personally don't think Dutch process is necessarily "better", I like the natural fruity acidity of cacao. It all gets balanced out by other ingredients anyway.
