Recipe FAQs
Right, now I've made a huge batch, how long can I keep this amazing Hot Chocolate Mix before it goes off?
If you keep the mix in a truly airtight container a proper Kilner jar is perfect and store it away from light and damp, it will happily last for 4 to 6 months. Humidity is the enemy here, so treat it like a precious tea blend.
Does this mix need hot milk, or can I get away with just stirring it into boiling water?
You’re in luck! Since this recipe includes whole milk powder, you can absolutely use plain hot water for a satisfying cup; it won’t be quite as luxurious as whole milk, but it will still be thick and creamy easy peasy for the office or camping.
Is that tiny bit of cornflour really necessary, or can I skip it to save a trip to the shops?
The cornflour (or cornstarch) is our little secret for texture; it acts as a stabiliser and thickener, preventing the cocoa solids from sinking to the bottom and giving the finished drink that signature velvety, café style mouthfeel, so we really advise keeping it in.
My finished drink is coming out a bit gritty what have I done wrong, guv'nor?
Grittiness is almost always caused by clumps of cocoa powder that haven't fully broken down; the crucial tip here is to ensure you sift the entire mixture two or three times before storage, which guarantees ultra smooth results.
I fancy something spicier or more grown-up, how do I jazz this basic Hot Chocolate Mix recipe up?
To deepen the flavour, stir in 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry mix; or for a delicious Mexican twist, add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a pinch of smoked paprika during the blending stage.
