Chocolate Milk Lovers

My daughter loves chocolate milk. But the "normal" chocolate milk that is non-organic has high fructose corn syrup in it. Horizon Organic does not. Its a little more expensive (but not much) and this is something that my daughter drinks everyday --in my opinion, its worth it.

Anyway, you can use the hormone free milk (non organic) and still make chocolate milk. Here is how:

Make chocolate syrup as follows. I keep mine in a jar in the fridge. Maybe you have an old squeeze container you can use. Should keep for 4 weeks in the fridge. (I'd skip the vanilla and the salt) Tastes great on ice cream or use to make chocolate milk!

1/2 cup Hershey's Cocoa Powder
1 cup Sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon Vanilla
dash of salt

Combine cocoa, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Add water, and mix until smooth. Bring this mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for one minute, be carefull this does not over boil. Remove from heat, when this cools add the vanilla.

I'm going to test this on the baby girl and see how it goes. I'll let you know! :)
