I love chocolates. And its quite obvious to everyone who knew me! Of lately, I want my cocoa-fix (or caffeine fix) in everything!  Of course, the branded ones do come in every possible combination now a days. The stronger and bolder the flavors are…the less and less shopping-resistance I have. So, I have been working to bring the flavor to next level. A way to enjoy my daily dosage, at least one shot for my 4′O clock sugar rush! When everything else fails on a crazy day…a reason to live drink, it is! There are many variations in the chocolate milk recipes, and the key factor is to use the original cocoa powder. Here is my take on ‘Chocolate Milk’.

Ingredients:

• 4 tsp cocoa powder
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• 1 chocolate cube, melted
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 banana
• 1 pinch instant coffee powder
• 1 scoop chocolate ice cream

Method:

1. Boil a quarter cup of water (or maybe even less than that), add sugar and cocoa powder to it. Allow this to dissolve completely, set aside.
2. Now, in a blender…add all the above mentioned ingredients (except ice cream) and blend them over high until frothy.
3. Serve chilled in a tall glass with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Enjoy.
