Chocolate is a mainstream condiment that is used abundantly in the food industry. It is present in beverages, desserts, main course meals, fruit salads, ice creams, and whatnot. The reason why it is so popular is that chocolates are sweet and also have an underlying strong and bitter taste that adds richness to the overall flavour of the chocolate.

The balance of these flavours makes them a favourite after-meal snack, not just among children but also among adults. The best aspect of chocolate is that one can modify its taste as per preference. Chocolate milk is a delightful and indulgent way of enjoying a cup of warm milk after a rather strenuous day. While one can always buy it from the market, there is nothing like making a cup of fresh, hot chocolate at home. Here are some rich and satisfying chocolate milk recipes that one can try this monsoon.

* Classic Chocolate Milk

Classic chocolate milk is an old and trustworthy recipe for people who do not want to make their chocolate milk too complicated. One would simply need a cup of milk, cocoa powder, and sugar. Simply take the milk and heat it in the saucepan on medium heat. Make sure that the milk is warm, not boiled. The next step is to add cocoa powder. If one doesn't have cocoa powder at home, then adding some chocolate syrup will also work. Mix the milk and cocoa powder well. The next step is to add sugar in the desired quantity. Let everything come to a good mix and pour the chocolate milk into a glass.

* Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk

The peanut butter chocolate milk recipe is for people who want to make chocolate milk more indulgent and creamier in texture. To make this chocolate milk at home, one would need one cup of milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and a little bit of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. The process of making this chocolate milk is very simple, as one has to start by warming the milk in the saucepan on medium heat. The next step is to add cocoa powder and dissolve it well in the milk. Followed by cocoa powder, you can add honey and peanut butter to the mixture.

* Coconut Chocolate Milk

The coconut chocolate milk recipe is one of the most flavoursome, light, and tropical in flavour. To make this at home, one has to start by taking one cup of coconut milk that should be warm. In this mixture, add some chocolate syrup or cocoa powder as per one's preference. An important ingredient in the coconut chocolate milk recipe is vanilla extract, which provides a lot of depth to the flavours of the milk. Mix everything well, pour the chocolate milk into the glass and garnish everything with some shredded coconut.

* Orange Chocolate Milk

Orange chocolate milk is a very interesting recipe that is made by mixing orange zest with chocolate syrup and milk. A person has to start the process by heating some milk in a saucepan over medium heat. The next step is to add some chocolate syrup to the mixture and let it dissolve properly. Once the milk changes colour, add the zest of the orange to the mixture. If one doesn't want to add orange zest, then one can also go with orange extract. Make sure everything is mixed properly. Now pour the mixture into a glass and present it after adding a slice of orange to the top of the glass and garnishing with some orange zest on top of the chocolate milk.

* Mint Chocolate Milk

While a lot of people must have tried the mint chocolate ice cream, trying a glass of mint chocolate milk is equally delicious and satisfying. Mint chocolate milk is made by taking one cup of milk and heating it in a saucepan. The next step is to add chocolate syrup along with ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract. One has to be very careful while adding peppermint extract because adding even a bit of extra can make the taste of the mint chocolate milk better. Once everything has been mixed properly, add some maple syrup for sweetness. Serve it with whipped cream on top and garnish with chocolate shavings for an attractive look.
