The Perfect Match

Around these parts when milk is going to expire soon gets marked down to $1 a gallon. So I stock up. Sometimes it takes a little chocolate to polish off those 10 gallons I bought.

Big Single Serving Chocolate Milk

2 T. cocoa or to taste
3 T. sugar or to taste (or powdered sugar, honey, or maple syrup)
dash of salt
2 T. water
1 1/2 c. milk


Place cocoa, sugar, and salt in a 12 oz. microwavable glass. Stir in water. It will be lumpy. Microwave for 30 seconds until mixture is dissolved. Stir in milk. Chill if you can wait. See pic.

Make the chocolate syrup: (Make more and keep for later)
