I'm looking for something I can mix up and have on hand to add some hot water to whenever I get a craving (which is often). I've been getting by with swiss miss and other store-bought mixes, but they've all got palm oil or partially hydrogenated cottonseed/soybean oil, and I try to avoid that stuff.<br>
stipulations:<br>
1. It needs to be something I can just add water to. I'm lactose-intolerant, but I can handle a little powdered milk on occasion.<br>
2. I'm allergic to all things soy, so I try to avoid it as much as possible (it's not a deadly allergy or anything, I just get an itchy rash.) (sure you all wanted to know).<br>
3. any suggestions regarding use of marshmallows, cinnamon, etc., are most welcome<br>
lay 'em on me!<br><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

can you drink almond or rice milk?<br><br>
in a saucepan, combine 1 c. almond or rice milk, 1 T sugar (you may not need any sugar; rice and almond milks are typically sweetened - taste it before using to make sure), and 1.5 T unsweetened cocoa powder. whisk until frothy and cook until it is hot (don't let it come to the boil). add a pinch of salt and a 1/4 t vanilla extract if you want (again, rice milk can be flavoured with vanilla, and almond milk typically has some salt, so taste before using).
