Notes
Storage Direction: Grinch hot cocoa is best served fresh and warm, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days if needed. Before re-heating, give the cocoa a good mix to incorporate the ingredients (it’s common for them to settle).. Warm in the microwave or on the stovetop slowly over medium-low heat until just steaming.
