Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 here's how i make chocolate milk: put some cocoa and sweetener of your choice (incl. stevia) in bottom of cup. Add piping hot water -- just enough to make a paste. Stir until cocoa and sweetener are dissolved. Then add milk and stir. Technically not a syrup but i guess you could make up a batch of chocolate paste ahead of time to mix with milk. Syrup is basically corn syrup. I used to LOVE hershey's chocolate syrup when i was kid. I tasted some a couple of months ago and gagged. It tastes nothing like chocolate! Elaine > We like chocolate milk at our house.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 well, green and black are makers of some seriously FABULOUS chocolate, and they make cocoa too. they even have a delightful list of gluten free products. their milk chocolate is totally to die for, and they use the best possible sugar (rapadura without the trade name), blah blah fishcakes. anyway. we use their cocoa for chocolate milk. yum! -katja At 01:57 PM 6/1/2004, you wrote: >We like chocolate milk at our house.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I've been trying to wean my 8yo off chocolate milk. I bought the Ah-laska organic brand just so I could get him to try the milk we've started buying. Each time I make him a glass I put in less syrup. I do like the cocoa idea for making your own if you like chocolate milk. It's also a whole lot cheaper than the Ah-laska syrup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 also? Ah-laska isn't gluten free. -katja At 03:03 PM 6/1/2004, you wrote: >I've been trying to wean my 8yo off chocolate milk.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 It's also nice because you can tone down the sweetness considerably. If i use sugar it is a scant teaspoon for 1.5 cups of milk. My daughter always wants a hot chocolate when we're out then won't drink it because it is so damn sweet. I hate to say it, but the only way she will drink milk is if it has chocolate in it. She's too clever to let me get away with using stevia. I wonder if i'm negating the healthful effects of raw milk by sweetening it. I have been slowly trying all the dark chocolates over the last year. I like the 70% stuff. I have to agree that Green and Black is so far the best. For cocoa though i use the Ah-laska stuff right now.
