About Chocolate Milk

Chocolate Milk is a delicious drink that can be made with easily available ingredients in your pantry. You don’t even need fancy ingredients like chocolate syrup to make this.

This is made using milk, unsweetened cocoa powde and sugar. Vanilla essence is added for flavour. I am sure this will be liked by all ages. If you are a chocolate lover then this is a must try for you!

Chocolate Milk mixes are readily available in supermarkets but they are all loaded with addictives and preservatives so making it at home from scratch is always a better option. Moreover you have full control of what goes into your milk and adjust it as per individual’s liking and preference.

Chocolate Milk Ingredients

• Milk – Using fresh full fat milk is the best option.
• Cocoa Powder – Use unsweetened cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is the main ingredients that gives flavour and taste to this milk so use a good quality unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Sugar – I have used granulated white sugar. You can use castor sugar or cane sugar too.
• Vanilla – I have used real vanilla extract for flavour. You can use vanilla essence too.

Expert Tips

• Always use fresh boiled milk. Boil it then cool it or warm down before blending.
• If you don’t have a blender use mixie with whipper blade to blend it. Or mix all the ingredients in a bottle with lid and shake it well until frothy and blended, serve.
• Reduce cocoa powder as per the variety , else it may taste bitter. I used Hersheys.
  The color depends on the variety of cocoa powder.
• Cocoa powder is one of the important ingredient so make sure to use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder. The flavour, color and taste purely depends on the cocoa powder.
• Adjust sweetness according to your taste.
• I prefer it chilled but its purely your preference.

Variations

• If you like cinnamon flavour then add a pinch of it.
• Add 4 soaked almonds and blend it along for a nutty taste.
• You can replace white sugar with cane sugar too.

Storing & Serving Suggestion

This is best when freshly made and consumed. But incase if you want to store the left overs then refrigerate it. It keeps well in room temperature for about a day and for 2 days in fridge.

You can serve it chilled or warm. Serve with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings if you like.
