 While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday. You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy this childhood favorite - September 27 is National Chocolate Milk Day! Would you believe that the man who succeeded Sir Isaac Newton as President of the Royal Society in Britain invented chocolate milk? Well, he did. Sir Hans Sloane, a doctor and collector, not only created this childhood classic in 1687, but he also touted its "health-giving" qualities. The combination of chocolate and milk is a natural one. Chocolate milk can either be made by adding powdered cocoa and a sweetener to milk, or by dissolving sweetened chocolate syrup in milk. The alternative is using a store-bought chocolate syrup, or making your own. The process is relatively easy: Sugar and water are boiled together and then cocoa powder, vanilla and a thickener (like corn starch) are added. The cooled mixture can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator, ready to be used for cold milk or ice cream. |

Promised Land Dairy Products used to have devastatingly good chocolate milk when they still offered it in the glass bottle. It was beyond good. So thick, creamy, and chocolatey. It was like it was made from dairy creamer.
Oh my stars! Chocolate milk is like heaven in a glass! Everyday should be chocolate milk day!
