Step 1 of 9

Whenever I used to make hot chocolate, I'd end up with a mouthful of lumpy, weird balls of hot choc powder. Gross. But not anymore!!! This tip will change your life. (Maybe...)

Step 2 of 9

These are your supplies (The kettle is shy. And please don't ask if the pasta in the background is part of them!)

Step 3 of 9

Put hot chocolate powder into mug (amount varies depending on the hot chocolate you're using, check the packaging.) I use Horlicks cause I'm an old woman in a 22-year-old's body. Plus it tastes good.

Step 4 of 9

Add a splash of cold milk. I'm using 4 heaped teaspoons of powder, and approx 3 tablespoons of milk. Take a risk, add as much or as little as you think you should! Live life on the edge!!

Step 5 of 9

Mix well, get down into the corners and make sure there's no powdery pockets lurking at the bottom! (Lol at my rubbish camera-aiming abilities!)

Step 6 of 9

You should get a thick, just starting to become runny consistency. Doesn't look very appetising at this point, bear with me...

Step 7 of 9

Add boiling water, stirring constantly. Sorry for the awful vid! I had a dull moment and didn't realise the steam would fog up the lens (duhhhh!) Now it looks DELICIOUS!

Step 8 of 9

Enjoy your delicious lump-free hot chocolate! :) This probably works with any powdered drink, but why would you choose something other than hot chocolate?!

Step 9 of 9

Yes, I know it's not exactly ground-breaking and creative, but I no longer have to suffer the indignity of sub-par hot chocolate, and now, neither do you :)

I've used frothy milk before but I find that if you don't drink it straight away it sort of 'sets' and has a weird texture on top :( massive sad face!

Rhiannon Wells (author) 11 months ago

I like to shake the milk bottle for a while first, until it gets frothy. Then just pour it in and do the same thing as this guide. It makes a really smooth, fluffy hot chocolate :)

Thank you! :)

As long as it's very hot and liquid, you can add whatever tickles your pickle :)

You could also use water, I haven't tried it though. The end result will be less creamy, but for those of you who can't drink milk, don't despair!!
