2cupspowdered sugar
2cupscocoa powder
2teaspoonssea salt
1vanilla bean, optional
Instructions
Place the cocoa butter pieces in the bowl of a food processor and process until very finely chopped. Alternatively, you could grate the cocoa butter by hand to produce very small flakes.
Add the powdered sugar, the cocoa powder, and the salt to the food processors and pulse until everything is very finely powdered and the mixture is well-mixed.
Scrape in the seeds from a vanilla bean, if using, then place the split bean in the storage container along with the hot chocolate mix.
To serve, place 2 heaping tablespoons in a large mug (more if desired) and pour boiling water or hot milk over. Stir until dissolved. Sip and enjoy.
Store mix in an airtight container for up to six months.
