Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
Store mixture in an airtight container.
To serve, add 3/4 cup boiling water to 1/3 cup homemade cocoa mix. Stir until dissolved.

To use as a gift basket goodie: fill a canning jar with mixture and seal with lid and ring, put label with serving instructions on outside of jar, cut a square of pretty fabric, cover lid and ring with fabric held in place by rubber band. Cover rubber band with ribbon or a couple of strands of raffia.
