    You can also bake with it should you so desire.

    Add some warm water to the powder in a mug and mix it until it gets to a smooth consistency (you can whisk if you like.)

    Slowly add water off the boil (so not boiling) and keep stirring.

    It went lumpy because my water was too hot. I can't make hot chocolate with warm water it has to be hot oh well. Off to get my sieve!!!

    Can't you just put it in a closed container and shake it vigorously? If this doesn't solve the problem, treat the lumps as chocolate marshmallows in your hot chocolate.

    Don't let the milk get above 130 degrees and it will not get lumpy. It also works really well with vanilla protein powder.
