Frothy Hot Chocolate
Recipe from the Everyday Canteen Recipes Resource
Classification
NSW: EVERYDAY ACT: GREEN
Ingredients
Method
Pour the cold milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla essence into an empty 3-litre milk bottle so that it is just over half full. Securely close the bottle.
Vigorously shake the bottle for 2 minutes.
Pour straight into small individual 250ml cups and microwave for 60 seconds. Microwaving maintains the frothiness of the chocolate milk.
Sprinkle the top with cocoa or cinnamon to serve.
*Use milk flavourings, powder and syrups in small amounts – no more than 1 level tablespoon per portion.
Variations
- Try making a spicy hot chocolate by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, ground ginger and nutmeg.
- Trial a variety of different milks to add variety such as calcium-fortified almond milk, soy milk or drinking coconut milk.
Tips
- If this method of frothing up the milk is not achievable in your canteen, try using a hand whisk, blender or coffee plunger.
