SNOWMAN SOUP

I use a tiny mason jar to put these in and add a tag to make it cute.

Single serving of Hot cocoa mix (I will often make a big batch of homemade and then divide it up.)

Here is a nice recipe for that:

3 cups of nonfat dry milk powder

2 cups of powdered sugar

1 ½ cups cocoa powder

¼ tsp. salt

1.    Mix it all together and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

2.   To make a cup of cocoa, put 1/3 cup of cocoa mix in a mug and stir in 1 cup of hot milk.

3.   Top with whip cream or mini marshmallows.

To give away as snowman soup, add mini marshmallows to your mason jar and close it up. Tie a candy cane to the tag telling your recipient how to mix up the cocoa.

            You could add cinnamon, cayenne, or even non-dairy flavored creamers add flavor. Also, this is good in your coffee for a mocha.

Hot Pumpkin

3 cans (15 oz. ) of Pumpkin

6 cups milk

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 - 1 tsp pumpkin spice

1 tsp vanilla

1. Mix all ingredients into a pan (or Crockpot) and warm until hot. Be careful not to burn or curdle the milk.
2. Drink. You can add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

I whipped the drink in the cups with my frother. 

If you heat it in a crockpot, you can leave it in there on warm for several hours. Stir occasionally.

Options:

• You could use whipping cream for a richer flavor.
• You can add cocoa powder for a chocolate pumpkin (that is  yummy too.)
• You could use almond, or coconut milk or another alternative milk for  a more healthful drink. Since Pumpkin is full of vitamins.
• This is a good drink to put in a To Go cup and give to the neighbors.

Mom's Lemonade

You will measure the lemon juice and the sugar in a 2 cup measuring cup at the same time.

1 1/4 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
Now fill up the rest of the measuring cup to the 1 3/4 cup with sugar.
This is to taste preference. Dad like me to fill it up to the 2 cup measure. That is pretty syrupy sweet.
Mix until sugar is mostly dissolved.
Pour into 1/2 gallon pitcher.
Add cold water the rest of the way in the pitcher and stir until all of the sugar is dissolved.
