Hot Cocoa in Bulk

How to make large amounts of hot cocoa mix.

• ½ a pound of cocoa,
• 1 ½ gallons of water, hot,
• 1 ½ gallons of milk, hot.

This should not be allowed to boil.

Either make it in a large double-boiler, or a large saucepan or kettle over water.

Mix the cocoa with enough cold water to make a paste, and be sure it is free from lumps.

Heat together the milk and water, and pour in the cocoa; then cook at least an hour, stirring occasionally.
