Questions about Chocolate milk
How can you make chocolate milk at home?
Whisk 1–2 teaspoons of cocoa powder with a splash of warm milk until smooth, then stir in cold milk and sweeten to taste. For a richer drink, melt a little dark chocolate into the warm milk and chill it.
Can you heat chocolate milk?
Yes. Warm it gently in a saucepan over a low heat, stirring often, and take it off the heat before it boils; boiling can make the milk taste scorched and form a skin. It also works well in hot chocolate, though it will be sweeter than plain milk.
How long does chocolate milk keep after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within about three days, or follow the shorter use-by advice on its packaging. Don’t leave it at room temperature for more than two hours.
What goes well with chocolate milk?
It pairs well with a banana, plain biscuits or toast, and makes a familiar after-school drink. You can also blend it with a banana and ice for a quick smoothie.
Can you freeze chocolate milk?
You can freeze it in a sealed, freezer-safe container, leaving room for expansion. Thaw it in the fridge and shake or whisk it well afterwards, as the texture may separate; use it in cooking or smoothies if it doesn’t become completely smooth.
Is chocolate milk the same as chocolate milkshake?
No. Chocolate milk is milk flavoured with cocoa or chocolate, while a milkshake is usually blended with ice cream or another thickener. Chocolate milkshake has 89 kcal per 100 g, compared with 55 kcal in chocolate milk.
Does chocolate milk contain caffeine?
It may contain a small amount if it is made with cocoa, since cocoa naturally contains caffeine and theobromine. The amount depends on how much cocoa or chocolate is used; a product made with flavouring alone may contain little or none.
Can you drink chocolate milk if you are lactose intolerant?
Ordinary chocolate milk contains lactose because it is made with dairy milk. Lactose-free versions are available, and you can also make it with a suitable plant-based drink.
