As a food lover who is passionate about cooking, when I received a request on how to make delicious chocolate milk, my mind was immediately surrounded by the sweet aroma of chocolate and I couldn’t wait to share this simple and delicious recipe with you. A delightful way to prepare drinks. Next, let’s embark on this sweet journey and uncover the secrets of making chocolate milk.

Step one: Prepare raw materials

If you want to make a perfect cup of chocolate milk, you must first prepare the necessary raw materials. You'll need the following ingredients:

Whole or low-fat milk: 1 cup

Unsweetened cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons

Granulated sugar or sugar substitute: 2 teaspoons ( The sweetness can be adjusted according to personal taste)

Flavor: 1/2 teaspoon (optional, to add flavor)

Step 2: Heat the milk

In a saucepan or small pot, heat the milk until lukewarm, but not boiling. We just need the milk to be slightly hot enough to melt the chocolate powder.

Step 3: Add cocoa powder

When the milk is heated, turn off the heat and slowly pour the cocoa powder into the pot while stirring continuously. This method helps prevent cocoa powder from clumping and ensures that the chocolate milk tastes smooth.

Step 4: Stir evenly

Continue to stir until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved and evenly blended with the milk. At this time, the color of the chocolate milk will gradually deepen, showing an attractive chocolate color.

Step 5: Add sweetener

According to personal preference, add sugar or sugar substitute to add sweetness. Stir well until the sweetness is completely dissolved. If you want a richer chocolate flavor, add more cocoa powder.

Step 6: Add fragrance (optional)

To add a touch of sweetness and depth, add a little fragrance. This will give your chocolate milk a subtle cinnamon flavor, making it even more delicious.

Step 7: Pour into a cup

Pour freshly made chocolate milk into your favorite cup and enjoy its rich aroma. You can add fresh fruit, nuts or cream to make your chocolate milk experience even richer.

Step 8: Enjoy

Sit back and enjoy the sweet happiness of homemade chocolate milk! Savor its silky texture, rich flavor and delightful aroma. Let this cup of chocolate milk satisfy your taste buds and warm your body and mind.

Tip:

For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate powder or unsweetened cocoa powder.

If you like iced chocolate milk, you can refrigerate the milk in advance or add ice cubes after making it.

If you don’t have cocoa powder on hand, you can use dissolved chocolate chips instead.

For people who are lactose intolerant, you can use lactose-free milk or plant milk (such as almond milk, soy milk) to make chocolate milk.
