Method 1 of 4:
Chocolate mocha powder

1
Grate the chocolate finely.
2
Grind the chocolate. Add to either a food processor or a grinder and process to powder it as finely as you can.
3
Add in sugar and coffee powder. Also add the ground cinnamon. Mix the ingredients together.
4
Use or store. The homemade cocoa powder is ready to be used, either hot or cold. If storing, keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a month.

Method 2

Method 2 of 4:
Dry mocha powder

1
Place all of the ingredients into the mixing bowl. Stir to combine well.
2
Transfer the mocha powder mix to an airtight container. Store in a cool and dark place for up to one year.
3
Make drinks. This mixture is suitable for both hot and cold drinks:
- For a cold drink: Place 1/2 cup of the mocha powder into a blender along with 1 1/2 cups of ice and 1/2 cup of milk. Blend until well combined and serve immediately.
- For a hot drink: Add 3 to 5 tablespoons of the mixture to a cup of warm water. Stir to combine. Top with whipped cream if wished.

Method 3

Method 3 of 4:
Protein-packed mocha powder

This drink is only suitable for serving cold.

1
Tip all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl.
2
Stir to combine thoroughly.
3
Transfer to a small airtight container. Keep in a cool and dark place; use within the "best-by" date for the protein powder.

- Pour in 1 cup unsweetened chocolate or coffee almond milk per standard glass.
- Add ground ice. Stir through thoroughly.
5
Serve immediately.

Method 4

Method 4 of 4:
Gift packed mocha mix

1
Choose a suitable small container for layering this mix for best effect. For example, a small glass jar, a test tube favor kit, a tiny bottle, etc. Glass is the nicest but whatever you choose, it must be see-through so that the recipient can see your delightful homemade effort.
2
Place all of the ingredients, except for the mallow bits and sprinkles, into a blender. Blend together until they form a well-combined powder.
3
Transfer to the gift container. Using a funnel to assist pouring, tip the mixture into the container or containers. Depending on the sizes of your containers, you might make one large container or up to 15 small containers. Leave a small space from the top, for adding the last ingredients (if using).
4
If using the mallow bits and sprinkles, add these in two distinct layers in the leftover space of the container. If you prefer other toppings, add those instead. If you'd rather it were all powder, simply fill to the top of the container with powder.
5
Add the container's lid. Make sure it fits properly.
6
Add a label with your own unique brand. Add the name as well, and any other embellishment.
- Add a separate label on the back with the ingredients and instructions for preparation. A "made on" date is useful, and a suggestion to consume within 6 months.
  - Preparation: Add 1.5 tablespoons of powder to 8 ounces (225ml) of hot water or milk. Stir to combine. Add toppings. Enjoy!
7
Pack in a sturdy gift box lined with tissue paper or similar. Add a card and you're all set.
8
Finished.
