Main
Optional (for richer or served chilled)
Method
Prepare chocolate syrup base
Make a smooth chocolate paste
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk and whisk or stir vigorously until a smooth, lump-free paste forms. The paste should be thick but pourable. This step prevents dry cocoa from clumping when mixed into the rest of the milk.
Combine and finish
Pour the remaining milk (about 1 14 cups) into a pitcher or serving glass. Add the chocolate paste and whisk vigorously until fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform in color.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness: add the additional teaspoon of powdered sugar or an extra 1/2–1 teaspoon granulated sugar if desired, stirring until dissolved.
For a richer drink, whisk in the heavy cream until combined. For a chilled drink, fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the chocolate milk over the ice.
Serve immediately. If you prefer frothier chocolate milk, blend the finished mixture in a blender for 10–15 seconds to aerate before serving.
