Iced Chocolate Drink Recipe

What you need:

• 1/4 cup of chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (about 40–50 grams)
• 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, depending on how sweet your chocolate is)
• 1/4 cup of hot milk (just to melt the chocolate)
• 3/4 cup of cold milk
• Ice cubes
• Optional: a pinch of salt or splash of vanilla extract
• Toppings (if you like): whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or chocolate curls

What to do:

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, add your chopped chocolate and hot milk. Stir slowly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If you’re using a microwave, heat in short bursts (about 20 seconds), stirring in between.

Step 2: Sweeten It (If Needed)

Taste your chocolate mixture. If it needs a little more sweetness, stir in the sugar until dissolved.

Step 3: Cool It Down a Bit

Let the melted chocolate mixture sit for a couple of minutes. You don’t want to pour it straight onto ice or cold milk while it’s piping hot.

Step 4: Build Your Drink

Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the melted chocolate mixture, then add the cold milk. Stir well until everything is combined and beautifully blended.

Step 5: Top It Off (Totally Optional)

Add a generous swirl of whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate sauce, or sprinkle on some chocolate curls if you’re feeling fancy.
