Get a Mr. Coffee "Cocomotion" machine--making chocolate milk becomes as easy
as making hot cocoa, pouring the hot cocoa into a heat-safe pitcher, and
then putting the pitcher in the refrigerator until the hot cocoa has become
cold.

If the powder settles to the bottom of the pitcher after the hot cocoa has
cooled to become chocolate milk, then only a light amount of stirring is
necessary before pouring the chocolate milk into a glass, but the powder is
never lumpy even if it does settle to the bottom.
