Lactose-Free Hot Chocolate Mix

I adapted this dairy-free recipe from Courtney's Sweets to make a lactose-free hot chocolate mix for my son with ingredients we usually have on hand. I actually prefer this hot chocolate myself since it has a dark chocolate taste. 

1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 C unsweetened cocoa powder 

1 1/2 C powdered sugar

pinch of salt

To make mix: 

1. In a food processor, combine all ingredients until the chocolate chips are mostly ground. 

2. Store in a sealed glass mason jar for up to 2 months.

To make lactose-free hot chocolate:

1. Add 2-3 T of hot chocolate mix to 1 C warm plant-based milk or lactose free-milk. (I heat the milk for 1 min 15 sec in my microwave). Gently stir the hot chocolate mix into the milk with a spoon and stir until combined.
