Chocolate Milk for One
Description
Chocolate Milk for One uses cocoa powder, water, milk, and sugar to make a single cup of chocolate milk. The cocoa powder and water are combined and heated briefly in a microwave until steaming, then stirred to create a smooth chocolate mixture. Adding part of the milk and sugar to this base and heating briefly again ensures the sugar dissolves evenly and the cocoa is fully incorporated.
Finally, the remaining milk is stirred in to complete the drink, making it creamy and ready to enjoy. This method avoids clumps by dissolving the cocoa initially in hot water rather than mixing it directly with cold milk. The recipe notes mention potential issues with lumps and suggest sifting cocoa or straining the finished drink for a smoother texture.
For best taste, chocolate milk is recommended with some milk fat content, such as whole milk or enriched non-fat milk. The recipe also advises stirring the drink if made ahead to redistribute any settled cocoa syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 5g
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup milk , divided (any percentage*)
- 1 tablespoon sugar 12g
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe cup or mug, combine cocoa powder and water. Microwave for 15 to 20 seconds, until steaming, and stir until very smooth. Add 1/4 cup of the milk and the sugar, and microwave for an additional 15 to 30 seconds, until steaming. Stir until completely mixed. Stir in remaining milk and enjoy.
Notes
- Sift cocoa powder before mixing or strain the finished chocolate milk if you want to avoid lumps.
- Using whole milk or adding a splash of cream improves the richness of the chocolate milk.
- If preparing ahead, stir the chocolate milk well before drinking to mix settled chocolate syrup.
