\"Milk<\/div>\r\n

Drinking milk cocoa brings a sense of comfort and relaxation. It’s not only soothing for the soul, but also gentle on the body. Rich in polyphenols and dietary fiber, milk cocoa is packed with nutrients.
\r\nNow, let\u2019s explore the best way to enjoy it, as recommended by the famous Morinaga, known for the jingle \u201cCocoa is Morinaga\u266a\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

A Simple Tip Before Drinking Milk Cocoa<\/h2>\r\n
\"A<\/div>\r\n

There\u2019s a simple trick to make your milk cocoa taste even better.
\r\nThat is to “knead the cocoa.”
\r\nBy doing so, the cocoa becomes sticky like paste (a process called gelatinization), resulting in a smoother texture and deeper flavor.
\r\nLet\u2019s take a look at how to knead it!<\/p>\r\n

\"Cocoa<\/div>\r\n

First, add the cocoa powder into a mug.<\/p>\r\n

\"Let\u2019s\"Let\u2019s<\/div>\r\n

Prepare some warm milk, then add about 2\u20133 teaspoons of it into the cup. You might think it\u2019s too little, but don\u2019t worry\u2014it\u2019s enough. Knead the mixture thoroughly until there are no more dry bits and it becomes a smooth paste. That\u2019s the goal!<\/p>\r\n

\"Mixing<\/div>\r\n

Once you\u2019re done kneading, add the rest of the milk and stir.
\r\nAt first, the kneaded cocoa will feel a bit resistant to mixing. But as you stir, that resistance fades\u2014and that\u2019s when it\u2019s ready to drink. The aroma also becomes stronger at this point, giving you that comforting feeling even before your first sip\u2026<\/p>\r\n
