Notes
You might find more than one type of carob powder (carob flour) on the grocery shelf; roasted carob powder is the richest tasting. I highly recommend Bob’s Red Mill brand – it is delicious! Don’t forget to add the cinnamon and almond extract! These add depth of flavor and richness to Carob Cocoa Mix. Blessings and enjoy your hot, creamy, cocoa-style beverage.

This tastes more like Mexican hot cocoa which I love!!! I can’t have chocolate, it gives me headaches and just general pains. So I’m so glad I found this recipe- it’s yummy!
VERY tasty cocoa! I followed the recipe with the exact amount of milk. I found the cocoa flavoring could use some more milk, next time. The dash of salt was just the right amount. I made up two cups; one for hubby & one for me. He loved it as well. Going to throw away all of our Costco hot cocoa mix. Usually I don’t throw things out, but in this case I certainly will. VERY good, Michelle!
Hello,
How would this be using water instead of milk? Thank you, Mary
