Chocolate Milk
Method
Chocolate Milk
Make chocolate paste
Place the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar in a small bowl or measuring cup. Add the hot water (about 2 tablespoons) and whisk or stir vigorously until you have a smooth, lump-free paste. The hot water helps dissolve the cocoa and sugar for a smooth chocolate base.
Combine with milk
Pour 2 cups of cold whole milk into a large glass, pitcher, or shaker. Add the chocolate paste and the pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously until the chocolate is fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy. Alternatively, pour into a lidded jar or cocktail shaker and shake for 20–30 seconds.
Serve
If you prefer cold, add 4 ice cubes to a serving glass and pour the chocolate milk over them. Serve immediately. For a creamier version, substitute part of the milk with half-and-half or use a higher-fat milk.
