3 ounces Cacao Barry Extra Brute
2 ounces malted milk powder, such as Carnation or Hoosier Hill Farm
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, not ground coffee, such as King Arthur

1/2 teaspoon pure, ground vanilla bean powder, such as Heilala, or 1 leftover vanilla pod; see note for more details
Directions
In the bowl of a food processor, combine toasted sugar, white chocolate, dark chocolate, Dutch cocoa, malted milk powder, instant espresso, salt, and vanilla powder . Pulse until chocolate is fully ground and mixture looks powdery and dry. Transfer to airtight container and add the leftover vanilla bean pod . Store at cool room temperature up until the date stamped on the package of white chocolate. To use, stir about 1 ounce of the mix into 6 ounces hot milk. Season to taste with additional salt or vanilla, and serve hot.
