How Long To Microwave Milk For Hot Chocolate?
Milk need to be warmed or heated in microwave or stove top for making hot chocolate milk.
If you are using microwave oven to heat milk for making hot chocolate milk, make sure to use a good quality microwave safe large coffee mug or cup (so the milk won’t boil over), and heat for about 1 minute and 30 seconds time.
If you think the milk is not hot enough for your preference, you may heat it for few more seconds later.
If you use small sized mug (milk should be filled upto only about ¾th of the cup) or if you heat the milk for more time than recommended, there is a risk of milk boiling over making a mess in the oven.
So here is how you can quickly and easily make delicious & creamy chocolate coffee drink at home!
How to make hot chocolate milk coffee drink?
To make the delicious instant chocolate coffee drink, we use the following ingredients.
ingredients used
hot cocoa mix 1 envelope (I used Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix)
mini marshmallows 1 envelope (equivalent to about 0.2 oz)
instant coffee powder 1 teaspoon
whole milk 1 cup
Notes: If you use the hot cocoa mix that comes with the marshmallows inside it, you can just use that. Based on what kind of hot cocoa mix you have in your hand, you can use according to package directions.
Step by step instructions
Add the hot cocoa mix powder to a coffee mug.
Also add the instant coffee powder to the coffee mug, mix well the hot cocoa and coffee powder so they are mixed evenly.
Heat the milk on stove top using a sauce pan or heat the milk in microwave using a good microwave safe mug or cup.
If using microwave, you can heat the milk for about 1 minute and 30 seconds (make sure to use a large mug or cup to heat the milk so the milk won’t overboil).
Once the milk is heated, immediately pour the hot milk over the hot cocoa & coffee powder mix in the coffee mug.
Mix well to combine hot cocoa and coffee mix with milk to make creamy hot chocolate coffee drink!
Top with marshamallows (that comes with the hot cocoa mix) and gently stir in, serve hot & enjoy! (If the hot cocoa mix already had the marshmallows you do not need to add extra)
Notes: Make sure to use hot milk and also mix the mixture immediately once the hot milk is added to the coffee mug, so the hot cocoa mix and coffee will blend in with the milk without forming any lumps.
If the milk is not hot enough or if you don’t mix them soon, there could be some lumps forming which you can break easily using spoon.
How to make this drink without hot cocoa mix?
If you do not have hot cocoa mix, you can use equivalent amounts of cocoa powder and mini marshmallows to make the drink.
Also add about 2 tablespoons of sugar or brown sugar (adjust the amount to your preference) since the cocoa powder is not sweetened unlike the hot cocoa mix which is already sweet.
