Martha Stewart's Homemade Hot Chocolate

I discovered this while looking up breakfast recipes on Martha's website.  I love Martha and am so disappointed that her show is only on the Hallmark Channel which Shaw does not offer.  I am not sure who to boo - Martha or Shaw.  CBC used to carry it but they no longer do so as I believe it was too expensive.  Anyways, I digress.

Her homemade hot chocolate is amazing and perfect on those insanely cold days when you can't get to Starbucks (like pretty much everyday this week) and you need something to keep you warm or just a simple chocolate fix!

Here is the recipe:

It makes 5 3/4 cup dry mix or 92oz servings.  Since it was my first time, I just made a half a batch
**3 1/2 cups sugar
**2 1/4 cups cocoa
**1 tbsp table salt
**milk for serving

1.  In a large bowl, combine sugar, cocoa + salt and whisk to combine well.
2. Store the mixture in an airtight container
3.  For individual servings, pour 1 cup milk into microwave safe mug, and microwave on high just until hot.  Add 2 tbsp of cocoa mix and stir to dissolve.
4.  For a larger batch of cocoa, warm the milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat, taking care not to let the milk boil; as it warms, stir in 2tbsp of mix for each cup of milk.

Enjoy!!
