Make Chocolate Milk from Cocoa



Out of chocolate syrup but still want that sweet snack? Cocoa powder is the answer. Making chocolate milk from cocoa powder is just as easy as stirring in your favorite chocolate sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) white sugar (granulated)
  • 2 tablespoons (10 grams) cocoa powder
  • Milk or powdered milk mix

Steps

  1. Take a spoon that is about equal to a tablespoon. An actual measuring spoon is good, but a regular spoon will work as well. Spoon two tablespoons each of sugar and cocoa powder into a saucepan. Start out with equal amounts of each and you can adjust.
  2. Add just enough milk to create a thick, lumpy paste at the bottom of your saucepan.
  3. Turn your stove to low.
  4. Place your saucepan on top, stirring constantly.
  5. Once your mixture has no more lumps, transfer it to a glass of your choice.
  6. Add the rest of your milk, stirring constantly.
  7. If you are going to use a microwave
    • 1. Repeat step one (using a microwave safe mug instead of a saucepan)
    • 2. Place your mug into a microwave and microwave for 20 seconds on high power.
    • 3. Take your mug out and stir your mixture.
    • 4. Microwave one or two more times (stirring in between) or until there are no more lumps.
    • 5. Finish off by stirring in the rest of your milk.
  8. Finished.

Tips

  • Adding cold milk should make your chocolate milk cold enough, but if it turns out warm, stick it in the fridge or freezer for a couple of minutes
  • Using a whisk will help break up any clumps.
  • If you're making chocolate milk for more than one person, just use equal parts of sugar and cocoa power and adjust to taste.
  • If you're diabetic, use sugar free cocoa mix with 'Splenda' and cold milk.

Warnings

  • Microwave power will vary. Start out with the recommended times and adjust from there.
