Make Homemade Hot Cocoa for a Crowd
Do you enjoy a nice hot cup of cocoa? Do you serve it to your family, or ever need to make hot cocoa for a crowd? My family is a crowd!
I love the smell of coffee. It smells so fresh and yummy. I love it when the kitchen is filled with its yummy aroma. The problem is I can’t stand the taste of the stuff!
Nope, I am not a coffee drinker. I have a really nice coffee maker though.
My boss at The Old Schoolhouse Magazine sent me a brand-new De’Longhi as an appreciation gift!
Thank you, TOS!
Quite a few years ago I owned a BUNN coffee maker. It is an awesome machine, and is able to have coffee all fresh and brewed within three minutes! Now, that’s impressive! No matter how big of a hurry a person is in it is way cheaper to wait out a three-minute coffee maker rather than sit in a drive-thru line to grab coffee on the way to work!
One of my favorite things about a BUNN coffee maker is its guarantee. I used my BUNN for a few years before the heater quit working. I contacted the BUNN company and gave them the codes for my coffee maker. They said it was still under warranty, and mailed me a new one. I did, however, have to pay the cost to ship the old one back. Pretty good deal, I would say!
A few years later the heater went up in the new one. Again, they mailed me a new one, and I only paid to return the broken coffee maker.
All and all, I would have to say it is definitely worth paying extra for a BUNN coffee maker just because of their guarantee alone!
Hot Green Tea for Me!
I prefer tea. Hot green tea to be exact. I love it. I drink it all day and throughout the year. Green tea is warm and comforting on cold, wintry days, like today. It is just as lovely and relaxing on a hot summer night.
Most of my children prefer a nice hot cup of cocoa. Of course, the grandchildren LOVE hot cocoa!
Cocoa is the main drink all winter long.
Make Homemade Hot Cocoa for a Crowd
One three-pound box of powdered milk
One 16-ounce container of creamer
One 2 pound bag of confectioners sugar
One quart of granulated sugar
A few shakes of salt – I prefer to use pink Himalayan salt.
Add in enough cocoa powder to the desired chocolate taste.
I used to add in two cans of pre-made hot cocoa mix from the store. One day, I realized that adding in my own cocoa powder was a lot less expensive.
This is the most creamy delicious cocoa you have ever tasted! This mixture stores really well. I just pour it into canning jars and keep it right on my pantry shelves.
Are you are making hot cocoa for a crowd? What’s your go-to beverage?
