Cocoa Mix for Hot or Cold Drinks

I am a 43yr old, married since '98, Stay at Home Mom to 3 wonderful boys. We are a homeschooling family. I enjoy reading, nature, spending time with family and friends, cooking and baking.

1 ½ cups erythritol

1 cup cocoa powder (the reg-not dark-makes a ‘milk chocolate’ flavor)
