Molasses Joe's Magic Mocha Mix

Boil a pitcher (mine is 6.25 cups) of water.  (Don't boil it in the
pitcher - put it in a saucepan first).  Remove from heat.  Stir in nearly
one cup of good instant coffee, nearly three cups of sugar, and a bit
over 3/4 cup of hot cocoa mix.  Let sit for five minutes (which somehow
helps some instant coffees, according to the jars), then add several ice
cubes.

Pour what you can back into the pitcher and refrigerate.  Use half of
what's left in the pot according to the directions below if you can
stomach it at room temperature (or use an extra ice cube in the glass),
and forget about the other half until late that night, at which point
you'll likely toss it down the drain, put some water in the pot, and tell
yourself that you'll clean it tomorrow.

Once the mix is ready (i.e., cold), repeat the following process:  Fill a
tall glass half-way with (whole) milk.  (That's not filling it, but so what?)
Fill it the rest of the way with the Magic Mocha Mix.  Drink it.

After a few repetitions of this, you are now out of Magic Mocha Mix, so go
buy some more sugar and start again.

Note:  Mocha is an Ethiopian (or generally Arabian?) coffee bean whose
flavor is vaguely reminiscent of chocolate.  American commercial culture
uses the word to mean mixing chocolate into coffee.  I am using the
latter, superfluous definition because there are few more superfluous
beverages that one might make at home than this:  It neither quenches
thirst nor contributes to health, it merely pleases the tongue.
