Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for making my vegan homemade chocolate milk is to warm the milk slightly before mixing in the syrup. I found out that when the milk is cold, the syrup tends to sink to the bottom no matter how much you stir. By warming it just a little, the syrup blends smoothly and the chocolate flavor spreads through every sip. My kids love it this way, and I do too because there are no clumps left behind.
- Blend the milk and syrup: I like to blend them together when I want a frothy texture. It tastes almost like a milkshake!
- Taste as you go: I always check the sweetness while I make it. Sometimes the kids like it extra sweet and other times I make mine a little lighter.
- Chill before serving: I pop the chocolate milk in the fridge for about 10 minutes. It turns out extra cold and refreshing that way.
- Make extra syrup: I usually double the batch of syrup so I always have some on hand. It keeps well in the fridge for a week and makes things easier.
- Use quality cocoa powder: I pick the best cocoa powder I can find for this recipe. It makes the flavor rich and so much better.
