Directions on how to make chocolate milk using cocoa powder

Who doesn't love chocolate milk? A refreshing drink to cool you off in the summer. Whether it's after school or after dinner. Everyone knows that milk is a good way to get your nutrients, but what about those fussy children? How about chocolate milk? Pre made chocolate milk and and chocolate syrup can be unhealthy and full of empty calories.  How about using cocoa powder to make your chocolate milk instead? Cocoa powder is all natural and has been around for a long time.  So instead of using syrup to make your chocolate milk, try cocoa powder instead.

The most common way to make chocolate milk is with syrup. .

What You Will Need:
  • 1 tbsp. Cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp. Sugar
  • Milk
  • Glass
  • Spoon

Step 1: For the best results use a tall glass. Once you have your glass picked out, add 2 tbsp. sugar into the glass.

Step 2: Add 1 tbsp. all natural cocoa powder into the glass (I like to add the sugar first so that no cocoa powder gets into the sugar bag).

Step 3: Add just enough milk to wet the ingredients. Using a spoon, mix the contents into a paste.
Step 4: Fill the cup the rest of the way with milk. Stir thoroughly, making sure to scrape the bottom and the sides of the glass. There will be some left over cocoa floating on the surface the chocolate milk (don't worry, this is supposed to happen), scrape it off.
