1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients including milk, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and any optional ingredients you wish to add.
2
Mix Cocoa and Sugar
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Mix them together until well combined.
3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, pour in the milk and heat it over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
4
Combine Mixtures
Once the milk is warm, remove it from the heat. Gradually whisk in the cocoa and sugar mixture until fully dissolved and well combined.
5
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor. If you want to serve it with whipped cream or chocolate shavings, set these aside for topping.
6
Serve
Pour the chocolate milk into a glass. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Serve immediately.
