Serve hot chocolate all summer long with this fun take on one of wintertime's favorite treats. Prepare a double — or triple — batch of the cocoa mixture and store in a covered container in the refrigerator up to 3 days so it’s ready to go. It makes for a great afternoon indulgence or serve it as dessert in a parfait or other pretty glass garnished with chocolate shavings and cinnamon or marshmallows like you might a hot chocolate drink. Or, keep it cool and summery with the addition of sliced fresh strawberries and a sprig of mint on top.
