Powdered chocolate mix or syrup?

mamabeezy @mamabeezy (172) • United States 11 Feb 09

I tried using Nesquick powder for a while. I noticed it never completely dissolved and didn't taste very chocolatey... I tried using off-brand chocolate syrup and made the best chocolate milk ever. Besides deans of course!...

raxxie Did you try mixing first the powder with just a little of milk? That way, the powder gets a syrup-like consistence and it's easier to dissolve when you add the rest of the milk. Also, it gets a better flavour!
