| Mugs | Cocoa powder | Sugar | Whole milk | Vanilla | Salt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 tbsp | 1½ tbsp | 1 cup | ¼ tsp | pinch |
| 2 | 4 tbsp (¼ cup) | 3 tbsp | 2 cups | ½ tsp | pinch |
| 4 | 8 tbsp (½ cup) | 6 tbsp | 4 cups | 1 tsp | big pinch |
| 6 | 12 tbsp (¾ cup) | 9 tbsp | 6 cups | 1½ tsp | big pinch |
| 8 | 16 tbsp (1 cup) | 12 tbsp (¾ cup) | 8 cups | 2 tsp | big pinch |
| 12 | 24 tbsp (1½ cups) | 18 tbsp | 12 cups | 3 tsp | big pinch |
16 tbsp = 1 cup. Taste and adjust: some like 1 tbsp more sugar per mug.
