Chocolate/Cocoa Drink Concoction

I made a chocolatey drink earlier with these ingredients:

1 tablespoon Milo
1 teaspoon cocoa mix powder (cocoa, sugar, full cream milk powder, non-dairy creamer)
1 shot cold brew coffee concentrate
3/4 teaspoon white sugar
2 packets single-serve Coffeemate
few dribbles of skim milk left in the box

It's barely sweet, and no single flavor dominates so I quite like it. But it would have more character if it maybe had a bit of tablea or an ounce of quality dark chocolate melted in or maybe even a dash of cayenne pepper.

Next time.

Tea with powdered juice?

Drinking hot tea with lemon juice or other sour citrus juice is pretty common.
I wonder if anyone has ever tried hot tea with powdered juice? No need to add sugar since powdered juice already has lots of it!
One of these days I'm gonna try this even if the hot water would destroy the Vit. C in the juice.

Hot Cocoa

I wonder why commercial hot cocoa mixes smell so good? I'm thinking Swiss Miss here since it's the most affordable and the most common one I've tried. Whenever someone else makes a mug, I sniff in envy and even if I make a mug of my cocoa-from-scratch, I have to say it doesn't match. I've tried several hot cocoa recipes (Alton Brown's for example)

Hot chocolate may taste richer but they're a pain to make.

Might as well post the recipe here:

Ingredients

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup cocoa (Dutch-process preferred)
• 2 1/2 cups powdered milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
• Hot water

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. In a small pot, heat 4 to 6 cups of water.

Fill your mug half full with the mixture and pour in hot water. Stir to combine. Seal the rest in an airtight container, keeps indefinitely in the pantry. This also works great with warm milk.
