INFO:
Store brands contain about 440kcal. I don't know how they do that, because I cannot dissolve that much sugar and cocoa into milk.

Steps:
Add cocoa and sugar to sauce pan. Add little bit of milk and stir it in. It will be lumpy. Heat up mix and stirr it until disovled and no longer lumpy. Remove from heat. It's ready for you 8oz Milk.

Notes:
It makes 2 tbsp of chocolate syrup. 2 tbsp per 8oz is recommended. This recipe uses real 100% cocoa. It has a little bite to it, which why I like it better than commercial.

Cost:
Chocolate Milk
$0.33 cocoa 1 tbsp
$0.03 sugar 1 tbsp
$0.55 8oz milk from half galleon.
$0.91 total
Your cost is going to be different than mine, unless you are in same location I am.


Original Recipe found wiki how:

Milk or powdered milk mix

Add two tablespoons of sugar and cocoa powder into a saucepan and create a lumpy paste using milk.
Turn your stovetop on "low" and stir constantly until there are no more lumps.
