Store sealed at cool room temperature (a dark pantry works well) for up to 2 weeks until ready to use. For longer storage, store in the freezer.

Stir the hot milk into the mug with the dry mix, whisking constantly until completely combined. Sprinkle with the optional miniature marshmallows and serve immediately.
