- 1½ tbsp Nido powdered milk (or any full-cream powdered milk)
- ¼ cup hot water
- ½ cup cold or ice water
Instructions
- In a tall glass or cup, add the cocoa powder, powdered milk, and sugar. Mix the dry ingredients well with a spoon until combined.
- Pour in the hot water and stir vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and lump-free with a rich brown color.
