It was about 20 years ago. But basically chunks of soggy chocolate floating in milk.

For all the wrong reasons. I think I ruined my dad’s sauce pan.

Imei is alright
And if you have the right chocolate, you can make it at home but without :banana:ing up like @DrewC

That’s where the knowledge comes in. You need to use real chocolate, with cacao butter. Not earwax.

26

Yes. I used earwax. Good one.

One thing doesn’t add up with chocolate milk drinks, it’s cheaper than milk. Meaning the cacao powder or substitute isn’t really of a high quality and probably other ingredients are added to make it taste smooth.

And a double boiler doesn’t hurt.

As someone pointed out before it’s probably more water than milk. I have also thought of this before. Even those that look like they should be milk, like those 1 liter bottles, must have some real cheap shit. Milk powder + water + chocolatey flour + plasticizer?

Chocolate goes through that state, first the milk gets warm chocolate melts and falls into small bits, milk gets warmer to around 75-80 C and the bits start melting, keep stirring until the milk starts ‘boiling’ (foaming), turn off and keep whisking. Smooth chocolate milk results.

Chulu milk is pretty good for taiwan milk without getting ultra local stuff. I avoid most brands here but theirs is alright.

You can buy cacao powder in real grocery stores (often called food supply/“wholesale” shops). Its like 500 a kg, perhaps not th most morally spurced mind you. Taiwan grows cacao fairly successfully for over a decade, but its a fad now still so insanely expensive.

My wife bought a tin of powder that had no sugar at rt mart. I think it was hersheys. Add that to a nice creamy non sweet milk. Then add sugar to taste. Easy, fast, supplies available everywhere. Local sourced also very available.

I love my cold chocolate milk with wonton noodles! Greatest meal ever!
I’m a third culture kid you see and this is an example of my diet.

Culture-mixing = slop.

Can you possibly stop human histories such as migration, travelling, colonialism and slave trade of both the past and present???
