The Big Chill & Ginger Hot Chocolate Recipe
We’re finally getting some chilly weather here. Lots of hope for snow this winter. Last year, after the move back from Florida we got about 3 flakes, so my little flakes really do not remember what snow looks like.
We’re starting to work on our Christmas list. Last spring I made the girls a Family Memory game. I think we might duplicate this for their cousin in Williamsburg. The girls have love this, and it’s been a fun way to remember everyone.
We’re also starting to think about teacher gifts. This is a hard one for me personally. I teach, and the last thing I want is to saddle someone else with a bunch of “apple-crap”. I am also on a public schoolteacher’s budget, and like the idea of hand made.
So we’ve been working on a hot chocolate recipe, and think we’ve hit the final formulation. Little-sis likes to play Top Chef when we do our taste testing which is pretty funny. The plan is to put this in small cellophane bags and put this in a holiday mug.
Hot Chocolate:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Put in small jars or gift bags.
For the tag:
Mix 2 teaspoons with 1 cup of hot milk. Stir and enjoy.
