Hi,

My wife and I run a popular cafe in Malaysia as my full time business.

We find that we consume alot of chocolate powder - which we primarily
use in the making of hot and iced chocolate drinks, not to mention the
iced and hot mochas, etc...

And we pay suppliers through our teeth for chocolate powder.

Looking on the packets supplied to us, I notice that the ingredients of
in the chocolate powder we purchase are as follows:

- sugar
- cocoa (20%)
- milk solids
- wheaten starch
- starch
- flavour

It seems to be that based on the above ingredients, making our own
chocolate powder could be a solution in helping us cut our costs, not
to mention possibly getting a better tasting product.

Can anyone out there please help shed a little more light on what might
be involved in making our own chocolate powder? How difficult might it
be?

I think that we can buy all the ingredients in bulk. But is it a matter
of simply sorting out the mix ratios of all the above ingredients?

Any help or additional information would be of great help to us.

Many thanks all!

Regards,

PS & JS
