How to make a cup of iced cocoa?

Iced cocoa is a delightful beverage that combines the rich, indulgent flavor of cocoa with the refreshing coolness of ice. It's perfect for those hot summer days or whenever you're craving a sweet treat. As a cup supplier, I'm excited to share with you how to make a delicious cup of iced cocoa and also introduce you to some of the great cups we offer that are perfect for serving this wonderful drink.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk (you can use whole milk, skim milk, or a dairy - free alternative like almond milk or soy milk)
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ice cubes
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Chocolate shavings (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Cocoa Base

In a medium - sized saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Gradually add the water to the saucepan while whisking continuously. This helps to prevent the cocoa powder from clumping. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir constantly for about 3 - 5 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved and the cocoa base is smooth and well - combined.

Step 2: Add the Milk and Vanilla

Once the cocoa base is ready, slowly pour in the milk while continuing to stir. Heat the mixture gently, but do not let it boil. Stir in the vanilla extract and remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the cocoa mixture cool to room temperature. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Step 3: Chill the Cocoa

Transfer the cooled cocoa mixture to a pitcher or a container with a lid. Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours or until it is completely cold.

Step 4: Serve the Iced Cocoa

Fill your chosen cup with ice cubes. Pour the chilled cocoa mixture over the ice. If you like, top it off with a dollop of whipped cream and some chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.
