Question

Could I mix a small amount of cocoa and milk with hot water, and then just top it off with milk?

Community Answer

Yes you could, as long as the cocoa and milk powder have dissolved well in the hot water before you add the milk.

Question

Do I have to microwave this twice?

Community Answer

It depends on how warm and creamy you want it. If you microwave the chocolate milk a second time, it will be creamier and warmer.

Question

Does it taste different from other hot chocolates?

Community Answer

Yes, mainly because you're using cocoa powder. Use a saucepan on the stove, not a microwave.

Question

Am I supposed to use unsweetened cocoa powder for this?

Community Answer

Yes, you should use unsweetened coco powder if you are going to add the sugar with it. Or, you could use cocoa mix (hot chocolate), which is already sweetened.

Question

Can I make larger amounts and place it in the fridge for later?

Community Answer

Try making the syrup (sugar+coco+milk), but not adding the large amount of milk if you are planning on making a lot and storing it in the fridge. From my personal experience, the syrup became a little clumpy when mixed with the milk and stored in the fridge.
