Procedure

  1. Mix the Ovaltine and cocoa powder together.
  2. Pound with a spoon until very fine—this will help reduce stirring time.
  3. Shake the Ovaltine and cocoa powder for 10 seconds.
  4. Pour the mix into the hot water. Stir well.
  5. Top with whipped cream if desired and serve, sprinkled with cinnamon or chocolate powder, if desired.

Notes, tips, and variations

  • For a sweeter taste, add 1 tbsp of Hershey’s Chocolate Mix to the hot water and stir.
