Cold Cocoa Colddrink Recipe
I've brought a perfect recipe to beat the heat. Cold cocoa is a very easy recipe. It's so refreshing with ice. It's a famous recipe from Surat, and it's like drinking chocolate. If it tastes good, let's start making cold cocoa.
We'll heat a saucepan and pour milk into it. These are two glasses, meaning around 600 ml. We'll keep stirring it, heating it up, and stirring it so that it doesn't stick to the bottom. Until the milk is getting hot
Let me take a bowl, I'm adding cocoa powder. These are two big spoons, it's unsweetened variety, right? It's not the sweet one?
Along with this, we'll add cornflour as well. Two big spoons of cornflour. If you want to pre-make the cocoa and keep it in the fridge, you can take one and a half big spoons of cornflour. But I'm making it fresh now, and the milk is getting hot. So, when it's lukewarm, I'll mix this with the cocoa powder.
If the milk stays cold, lumps form, and it doesn't mix well. We need to make it smooth. Now, I need to make a slurry. We'll mix the cocoa powder
Corn flour needs to be mixed well. It's ready now.
We'll add sugar to the milk. I've taken four big spoons of sugar. If you're making it for children and want it to be as sweet as a milkshake, you can add six spoons as well. Alright, sugar is also added.
Now, the slurry we made with cocoa powder, that also needs to be added to this.
We'll keep processing this, and if it's a bit thick, I'll add a little more milk to it and then take it out. Just keep the flame medium and keep stirring it so that no lumps form.
It shouldn't be sticky, and to bring that luxurious creamy smooth taste, I've taken this chocolate. It's dark chocolate.You can also use dairy milk or the one that comes with Bornvita, which has cocoa butter.
I've chopped around 70 grams.
We'll add this to the milk and then bring it to a boil on medium heat. After adding the chocolate, it's important to pay attention because it can stick to the bottom and burn if not stirred continuously. Keep stirring until it's fully melted. Alternatively, in this recipe, you can also use custard powder instead of cornflour. It adds a vanilla flavor. Personally, I prefer adding real chocolate and cornflour so that it has a consistent flavor and the taste of real chocolate.
In this, you can see it's on a medium flame. It's starting to boil. Looks delicious, right? Let's turn off the gas, and now I'll start cutting. I've taken out the rolling pin.
I'm spreading a clean cloth, placing ice on it. We'll cover it back with the cloth and start crushing. It means we're crushing the ice. By the way, we can also crush it in the blender, but then we don't get the same texture.
All the ingredients are ready, the ice is also ready, and the cocoa is ready too. Now, since it's hot and not completely cold, let's go ahead and chill it.
If you see any lumps in the cocoa or if it's showing lumps, you can blend it in the mixer once. It looks fantastic, doesn't it? Ready for serving! I've taken a glass for myself and a larger one for mixing, like the ones used for lassis. Nowh, we'll fill half of the serving glass with crushed ice and...
You'll fill it with cocoa all the way to the top.
And now, you'll mix it with the other glass about 3 to 4 times.
We have added real chocolate, so it will taste very good.
