((...Blargh. I swear, I will never get the hang of making hot chocolate from powder. XP))

It needs at least as much stirring as making it from flaked chocolate and milk.

That's the thing! I stir it constantly, and it still turns into a lake of milk with chocolate mud floating on the top. XP Maybe I just need to give up on making it in the microwave at work and stick to a saucepan on the hob at home...

Uh, yeah. I don't think I'd even consider trying to nuke my hot choc. (Mind you, I usually stay at the level of the kind of powder that you pour hot water over.)

There's another way?

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

It's all I've got to work with. I've got a mug, a spoon and a microwave, that's it; I've tried putting the poweder in then adding the milk a bit at a time, and all I got was layered sludge. XP

Before or after you heated it? Heating things makes them dissolve faster, or so chemistry class taught me.

Mix first, heat after - I haven't got another container to heat the milk seperately before mixing it in the mug, since I don't want to chance the milk carton in the microwave.

Use two cups. Heat the milk, then pour it into the powder.

Zap a mug full of milk, sprinkle powder in slowly and stir while doing so? *just a thought*

Chocolate powder first, heated milk later. Mixes it better.

There's probaby a knack I don't have or something. :(

What chocolate are you using? Some of them are just bloody insoluble - remember those Options?
