There, they don&#8217;t serve that watery fake stuff. No, even in the shopping mall cafeterias, you get rich, creamy cocoa that warms you all the way through on wet winter afternoons. The chill factor of that ice cold Arctic wind that feels like needles on your face there is no joke!<\/p>\n<p>Coming back to the States, I couldn&#8217;t just go back to that instant flavored water stuff any more. Fortunately, I didn&#8217;t have to. The local asian supermarket actually sells real Droste cocoa powder imported from the Netherlands. Indonesia used to be a Dutch colony so we always find it among those food stuffs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dutch-cocoa-hot-chocolate-01.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Dutch Cocoa hot chocolate recipe\" width=\"650\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dutch-cocoa-hot-chocolate-01.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dutch-cocoa-hot-chocolate-01-292x194.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dutch-cocoa-hot-chocolate-01-585x388.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Authentic Dutch Cocoa Hot Chocolate Recipe<\/h3>\n<p>My husband has be come an expert at making our favorite cold-weather\u00a0beverage and has taught our daughter to do the same.

I would only suggest doing\u00a0this over the stove\u00a0if you have several cups of hot chocolate to make. In which case, the stove would ensure everyone gets their drink hot and at the same time. Again, be careful to not overcook the beverage as unwanted solid pieces of burnt milk will form.<\/p>\n<h3>Got Milk? \u2013 Building for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Milk has such a positive effect on our kids and this is a great hot chocolate recipe to get them to drink it. <a href=\"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/clk?id=128376843&amp;iu=\/5485\/sugar.pop\/track\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Got Milk?<\/a> wants to remind families how important it is to <a title=\"\u201cWhen I Grow Up\u201d is Coming Faster Than I Imagined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/got-milk-when-i-grow-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">give kids a good start<\/a>.
