I got a craving for a cold glass of chocolate milk - not that crap
they sell in the store that has all the disgusting thickeners in
it.

It's easy enough to make good chocolate syrup. Just mix together
approximately one part cocoa powder with three parts sugar and three
parts water and a dash of salt. Bring it to a boil and boil it for a
minute, then add a bit of vanilla extract.


Is there an easy way to make it from just cocoa and sugar? My
experience with powdered cocoa and iced coffee tells me that cocoa
doesn't dissolve in cold liquids. Just heat the milk first? (but
then I have to wait for it to get cold again...)

Mix the cocoa powder and sugar together and then add a little bit of
milk to make a paste and gradually add more milk.
