Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon (5g) cocoa powder*
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup milk , divided (any percentage*)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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

  • *I find that lumpy cocoa powder can sometimes lead to chocolate lumps that settle at the bottom of the glass. If that bothers you, you can sift your cocoa powder before mixing or pour your finished milk through a tea strainer. 
  • *Chocolate milk is always better with a little fat in it. This recipe is great with non-fat milk, but it's best when made with whole milk or non-fat with a splash of cream or half and half.
  • If making ahead of time, be sure to give the milk a good stir before drinking as the syrup may have settled.
