  2. 2Whisk in the cocoa, sugar and salt until smooth.

  • The number is the fat

    Whole milk is about 3.25% fat, then 2%, 1% and skim. For baking, use whole unless the recipe says otherwise.

  • UHT means shelf-stable

    Ultra-high temperature milk is heated very briefly so it keeps unopened without a fridge. Once opened, treat it like fresh milk.

  • Plant milks vary a lot

    Oat is creamy, almond is light, soy has the most protein. Unsweetened is the safest for cooking.
