Making chocolate milk is super simple! Here’s how to do it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of milk (any kind: whole, skim, almond, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to your taste)
  • A pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Steps:

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt (if using). Stir until well mixed.
  2. Add a little milk: Add 2-3 tablespoons of milk to the cocoa mixture and stir to make a thick chocolate paste. This helps prevent clumping when you add the rest of the milk.
  3. Warm it up (optional): If you’d like your chocolate milk warm, heat the milk either on the stove or in the microwave until it’s warm, but not boiling.
  4. Combine: Pour the rest of the milk into the chocolate paste and stir until fully combined. If you want cold chocolate milk, add ice or refrigerate for a bit.
  5. Flavor boost (optional): Add the vanilla extract for an extra flavor kick.
  6. Enjoy! Stir and drink right away!
