It’s simple, different, and effortlessly elegant, no barista skills required.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp white hot chocolate powder
- ¾ cup milk warm, to dissolve powder
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ –1 tsp fresh lemon juice start small and adjust
- ¾ cup cold milk or plant-based alternative
- Ice
- Optional: whipped cream extra zest, or edible flowers for garnish
Instructions
- In a small jug, whisk the powder into the warm milk until smooth.
- Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Add the cold milk and mix to chill it down.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour over your lemony white choc mix.
- Garnish if desired — whipped cream + zest = dreamy.
Notes
If it curdles slightly, it’s usually from too much lemon juice. Stick to fresh milk and go slow on the juice.
You can also blitz everything with ice for a creamy frappé-style version.
