Make Cocoa Powder Yourself – That’s How It Works

Instructions: Make cocoa powder yourself

You can make your own cocoa powder in no time with just a few ingredients.

• To make the cocoa powder you only need 40 grams of cocoa, 30 grams of powdered sugar, and 5 grams of vanilla sugar. Alternatively, you can replace powdered sugar with the same amount of refined sugar.
• You also need a screw-top jar for storage, because the finished product can be used for about 10 drinks.
• When it comes to cocoa powder, you should make sure you use raw cocoa. This contains more healthy nutrients than typical cocoa powder because it is not heated as much.
• Since this cocoa powder contains caffeine and comes very close to the effect of coffee, you can use the caffeine-free carob as an alternative. This powder is rich in nutrients and tastes very similar to cocoa.
• To prepare the powder, fill the ingredients into the jar and shake vigorously. After that, you can use it to make many delicious hot chocolate drinks.
• Then store the powder in a cool and dry place.

How to prepare the cocoa

Once you’ve made the cocoa powder, you’re ready to prepare your cocoa.

• For the preparation, heat up 250 milliliters of milk of your choice.
• Pour the milk into a cup and stir the desired amount of cocoa powder into the milk.
• A frother can help to mix the powder well with the milk.
• The hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows as a topping tastes particularly good.
