Alton Brown Hot Cocoa Mix (Can Be Dairy-Free) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups powdered sugar
    1 cup cocoa powder (dutched, preferably)
    2 1/2 cups powdered milk (omit for dairy-free mix)
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 pinch cayenne (to taste, can omit)
Preparation
    Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. Seal in airtight container till ready to use.
    Warm water or dairy-alternative.
    Alton's directions at the above-mentioned web address state to fill mug half-full with mix and add liquid. I can't do dairy so my experience is without the bulk of the pwd milk. I put 3 T in my mug, add a little of my warmed coconut milk and mix well. Add a bit more coconut milk, mix, and continue until filled and thoroughly incorporated.
    (Somebody else has posted his homemade marshmallows on food.com if you're so inclined. I haven't tried them yet.).
