This Cinnamon Hot Cocoa recipe sounds so yummy!! It's perfect weather for a delicious, warm, cup of hot cocoa topped with melting marshmellows!

 

Begin by gathering all ingredients together. It's much easier if it's all within reach before you start. Here's what you'll need:

• 1 cup sugar (we use turbinado)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 heaping cup unsweetened  cocoa powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon  cinnamon

In a medium sized mixing bowl combine both sugars and whisk together. Add in cocoa, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until incorporated.  

Using a canning funnel, fill a clean glass jar with homemade cinnamon hot cocoa mix. Be sure jar is completely dry before filling.

Now, you're ready to give as a gift, or to make hot cocoa for yourself whenever the mood strikes.

To make homemade cinnamon hot cocoa, heat 8-12 ounces of milk in a microwave safe dish (or heat on stove top).

While milk is warming, add 1-2 Tablespoons of cinnamon hot cocoa mix to a large mug. Once milk is heated, slowly pour into the mug, stirring to incorporate.

Top your hot cocoa with marshmallows and enjoy!
