Never thought about it much. I don't drink milk, so I use water with hot chocolate and eat my cereal dry. For Christmas I eat my cookies with a icy cold glass of... water.

+ a little drop of vanilla, and yum.

It is an evil plot to make you think you are about to drink something tasty that ends up tasted like flavored water. Don't get me started on the instant "hot chocolate" packets that have those little dehydrated marshmallow imitations.
At least, that's what I think.

It is delicious without being overly filling. I dislike hot cocoa with milk. It is too thick and filling.

I don't like the thickness of milk. I prefer it with water.
My husband and children are on the milk side. They even make their oatmeal with milk. Eew.

If the instructions are to use water, then it has milk powder in it. (Check the ingredients.) Of course, powdered milk leaves a lot to be desired so it's much better if you use fresh milk as well. When I make it for my kids, I use hot water but I only put in half a cup so they get a thick, sweet little drink.

OP here. Doesn't have to be fancy. I never buy the hot chocolate packets. Just use Ovaltine and milk and stick it in the microwave.

Mine do! They don't like the instant stuff either.

I use a mix of milk and water to cut down the calories.

This.
Also, there's powdered milk in the mix.

They should have milk powder in them. I'm with you in that I always make mine with milk, but I usually also just do from scratch because it's so easy.

Totally agree. I'd rather just drink a cup of plain hot water. Have never tasted an instant hot cocoa mix that was worth taking a second sip of.
