Make Hot Cocoa on a Stove

If you don’t have boiling water ready, you can put 250 ml of water in a pot, add 28 g of cocoa powder, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Cook this on high heat while stirring continuously until the mixture boils. If you prefer a more aromatic drink, you can add half a tablespoon of vanilla extract or half a sachet of vanilla powder to the cocoa mixture and stir well.

Make Cocoa with Hot Milk

You can use a kettle to heat 180 ml of fresh milk. While waiting for the milk to boil, put 7 g of cocoa powder in a glass, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and mix well. Pour the hot milk into the cocoa mixture, stir to dissolve, and then add 50 ml of cold fresh milk. You can also add some chewy, vanilla, or fresh cream to this.

Make Cocoa with Frothed Milk

Put 230 ml of fresh milk into a large bowl and use a whisk (or spoon) to beat the milk until it foams. Then, add 7 g of cocoa powder and mix well. After that, pour 80-100 ml of boiling water into the mixture, add 2 tablespoons of sugar (or more milk if you prefer) and stir well before enjoying. This method will help dissolve the cocoa powder quickly and prevent it from clumping.

Make Iced Cocoa

Put 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of condensed milk into 50 ml of boiling water. Use a spoon (or whisk) to beat the mixture until it foams and the cocoa turns from dark brown to light brown. Dissolve sugar in a small amount of hot water, then add fresh milk to the cocoa mixture, stir well, and add ice. Enjoy!
