Method

Preparation of the Base

  1. 1

    Combine Milk and Water

    In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of water over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is warm but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt. This will ensure that the cocoa powder and sugar are evenly distributed.
