Method

  1. Put the milk in a metal jug and heat it over medium heat.
  2. Before it comes to a boil, add the cocoa powder and sugar. Stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Separately, dissolve the teaspoon of cornstarch in the fresh water.
  4. Add the dissolved cornstarch to the chocolate milk without stopping stirring, over medium or low heat, scraping the bottom so that lumps do not form, until it thickens.
  5. Serve very hot in your favorite cup.
