Instructions
1. Refresh the sourdough starter by feeding it equal weights of flour, cocoa powder, and water and let it ferment until bubbly.
2. In a small bowl mix 1/2 cup active starter with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon sugar so it forms a smooth paste.
3. Spread the paste thinly on parchment paper and dry in a cool area or oven with light on until completely crisp, about 24 hours.
4. Break the dried starter into pieces and pulse in a blender to create a fine powder.
5. Combine cocoa powder, powdered sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, espresso powder, and dried starter powder in a large bowl and whisk to blend.
6. Fold in chopped dark chocolate and pulse briefly in a food processor for a smooth, uniform mix.
7. Store the mix in airtight jars in a cool, dry place for up to three months and label with date.
8. To serve, whisk 3 tablespoons of mix into 1 cup heated milk and simmer gently for 1–2 minutes until velvety.
