    About Chocolate Milk Powder Recipe

    Chocolate milk is one of the most loved beverage of choice amount kids and adults. Though it is easy to make chocolate milk at home, you will be finding many brands of chocolate milk mix in stores. We pick them for convenience and taste. But did you know it is super easy to make chocolate milk powder at home just like my pancake mix, instant coffee mix and chocolate pudding mix.

    You will be needing 3 ingredients to make chocolate milk powder at home. Technically if you leave out salt, you will be needing just 2 ingredients, cocoa and sugar. Using the correct proportion of this ingredients helps to create delicious chocolate milk powder. If you are concerned about using white sugar, you can check my chocolate milk syrup which I made using jaggery.

    The only thing you have to remember is, try to get the best quality cocoa powder you can afford. I have tried this with many brands of cocoa powder and loved the powder made with Hershey's. I think it is the best. The milk can be made either with hot or cold milk as you prefer, but I like to enjoy it with cold milk.

      Nesquik is fortified with vitamins and minerals. Homemade is only cocoa and sugar. You tell me which is better?

        I am an anonymous reader , and felt like replying to your question .i would still Aarthi's version is better . You know what is inside it . Nesquik, or any drink store bought , we never know what is added . Though it have fortified minerals or vitamins , it might do more harm than good ., I am sure they would have added some ingredients to enhance the taste , color and any preservative .so obviously , this is better .
