Milk. Miiiiiiiilk.

 

[Steiner84]

what kind of monster uses water? Wtf man?

 

[Steel]

This is the first time I've heard of using water.

What's next, water on cereal?

Well, some people use skim so....

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Using it all with whole Milk would usually bother my stomach. A mixture of both is still pretty good. Might have to try some other Milk types.

I also find whole milk to be too rich so I add just a little bit (a quarter or less) of milk to hot chocolate mixes and for me that's the best ratio. But Depending on the quality of the cocoa I'm using I may up the ratio to 1/2.

Water, warm milk feels wrong. If it's cold, milk all the way.

 

[Unfriendly TimeTraveler]

I just always used water but it's never any fancy hot chocolate just the little packets. A lot of churches and stuff I went to back when I was younger used water. When I do have hot chocolate I only use water cause i find I can use milk for better stuff like cereal rather than wasting it on something I can hardly tell the difference for. Just some powder and water with marshmallows.

I'd normally drink it with hot water but sometimes add a dash of milk.

Milk for cold cocoa, water for hot chocolate. Fuck warm milk. Disgusting.

 

[ZackieChan]

Land o Lakes hot chocolate is made water and still tastes pretty good

It's the GOAT, but with milk it is god-tier.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Water just makes it taste horrible!

Milk all the way.

 

[Spwn]

I associate cocoa in hot water with camping. It's actually pretty good, but you have to use more powder than you would with milk.

 

[squidyj]

most of the time it's milk

I've had the occasional mix that was too rich with milk and I needed to cut back to water

 

[Teriyaki Blues]

Thanks, thread. I just had some of this made with milk/half & half and marshmallows and it was great.

[StoneFox]

I never had it with milk, this is new to me.

Maybe that's why hot chocolate tastes different when I get it at restaurants.

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

Milk, Jesus. Fucking cavemen in here.

Edit, I suppose it depends if you're using actual cocoa, or sachets of 'hot chocolate'. Cos those usually have powdered milk in them.

 

[StayDead]

Some of the stuff in the UK says to make it with water, some says it to make it with milk.

I personally do either depending on how impatient I am.

 

[EricTheCleric]

Both. I stir cold milk into the powder until it is thick and creamy and then fill with boiling water.

Try replacing the milk with cream and the water with milk

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

Try replacing the milk with cream and the water with milk

Lol my man. Changing lives right here.

 

[Nikodemos]

If it's whole "hot chocolate" powder, then water. It already contains powdered milk (the fancy ones) or a milk-like dried substance made from whatever (the mass market ones).

If making hot cocoa from cacao powder or dark chocolate nibs, milk; always milk, frothing hot.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Milk preferred, but water is just fine.
