When your child starts going to school, it is inevitable that they would be exposed to food and drinks less healthy than what you would want for her. For Miss Kiki, chocolate milk falls into that category. Or any other coloured milk. Most of these milk are packed with artificial flavours, artificial colours, or at least an enormous amount of sugar - way more than a child needs.
Luckily for me, Miss Kiki can be reasoned with. I explained to her why those little boxed sweet liquid are not good for her and that I would make her a better one. So I did, and she loved it. She said that it was better that the others. You can try it for yourselves!
All you need is cocoa powder, honey, and fresh milk.
Approximately
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 cup milk
If your milk is cold, it can be tricky to mix in the cocoa powder. But if you want cold chocolate milk, it doesn't make sense to warm it up and chill it again... so what I did was.....
- Get a drinking cup (the one you will use to drink the milk).
- Put cocoa powder and honey in.
- Stir well
- Pour 1/3 of the milk in
- Stir well
- Pour the rest of the milk in
- Stir and serve.
This makes a very chocolatey and sweet chocolate milk. If you like less flavour or less sweetness, adjust recipe accordingly.
