Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) Milk
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons (12-24g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5ml) Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions:

  1. In the saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. This helps prevent clumping.
  2. Add about 2 tablespoons of the milk to the cocoa mixture and whisk to form a smooth paste. This is crucial for preventing lumps.
  3. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk, ensuring everything is well combined.
  4. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with the whisk to prevent scorching and until the milk is heated through (steaming, but not boiling).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (if using).
  6. Pour into a mug or glass and enjoy! Can be served warm or chilled. Now you know how to make chocolate milk the real deal!
