Homemade Hot Chocolate Drink

Let me start off by saying, if you like chocolate milk or hot cocoa, this is a MUST-try!!!!

I was never a chocolate fan but I'm slowly becoming one (as long as there is no bitterness). This drink is creamy, rich, delicious, fresh, and just sooooooooooooo good!!!! It taste similar to Colombian cocoa but even BETTER! I have ALWAYS hated that useless instant cocoa mix (whether Hershey's, Nesquik, Yoo-hoo, or whoever). It's very distasteful! I had no idea I could make this drink from scratch. It's simple and quick. I think it took 5 to 10 minutes.

My ingredients are: raw cow's milk (from Pure Milk Farms), ceylon cinnamon, turbinado sugar, Lindt 90% dark chocolate. Click here for the original recipe I used (look for "Chocolate Mexicana").

Yoo-hoo's chocolate beverage:
water, high fructose corn syrup, whey (from milk) and less than 2% of: cocoa (alkali process), nonfat dry milk, natural and artificial flavors, sodium caseinate (from milk), corn syrup solids, calcium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, palm oil, guar gum, xanthan gum, mono and diglycerides, salt, spice, soy lecithin, niacinamide (vitamin B3), sucralose, vitamin A palmitate, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin D3.

Nestle's instant cocoa mix:
sugar, corn syrup solids, vegetable oil (partially hydrogenated coconut or palm kernel and hydrogenated soybean), dairy product solids, cocoa processed with alkali, and less than 2% of cellulose gum, nonfat milk, salt, sodium caseinate, sodium citrate, dipotassium phosphate, sodium aluminosilicate, mono- and diglycerides, guar gum, artificial flavors. 

My drink consists of just 4 ingredients whereas food manufacturers use 20+ ingredients.
