How To Make The Best Homemade Chocolate Milk Ever

Homemade Syrup – The BEST chocolate milk ever must be made with this homemade chocolate syrup recipe! Just one taste, and you’ll always make it this way from now on!
Strain The Syrup – After making the syrup, you’ll want to use a fine mesh sieve to strain it. This way, it can remove any possible lumps that may have formed when it was cooked. This quick and easy step is worth it to ensure you have the smoothest syrup possible!
Cool Before Using – Once the syrup has cooked, allow it to cool completely before using. That way, our cup of milk won’t be warm!
Chilled Glass – For an ice-cold glass of chocolate milk, chill your glass beforehand!
Choose Your Milk – I like making mine with whole milk. Its thicker consistency makes for a creamy texture that I LOVE and look for in chocolate milk. However, if you don’t prefer whole milk, you can make this recipe with your favorite type of milk.
