"I liked Fox's U-Bet best...but the homemade syrup is on an entirely different level. [Flickr: hleo] Chocolate Syrup and Milk View the complete recipe here » Pavlov rang bells to make dogs salivate. I imagine the bells sounded like spoons stirring thick chocolate syrup into glasses of ice-cold milk. It's not difficult to make a glass of chocolate milk. After all, it's a two-ingredient drink and the recipe is in the name. But a great glass of chocolate milk—well, that takes talent, hard work, and a little bit of luck. Luckily, I spent an entire evening testing varieties of chocolate syrup and milk, to find the right combination of ingredients. (A tough job, I know.) What's the secret to a...

Raise Your Hand For Chocolate Milk is a new campaign from the National Dairy Council and Milk Processor Education Program to promote keeping chocolate milk in schools and prevent them being banned as schools have done with sugary sodas and candies, reports the AP. Unlike soda and candy though, chocolate milk can be touted for having nutritionally beneficial calcium. Supporters say that the health benefits of chocolate milk outweigh the negative effects of the sugar content, and kids are more likely to drink chocolate over regular milk; the opposition says kids already get enough calcium without chocolate milk, and they don't need more sugar in their diets. Whose side are you on? Do you think chocolate milk should be kept...

[Photograph: The Kitchn] The Kitchn shares a neat tip on making milky foaminess for your morning coffee without investing in any fancy contraptions. All you need is a jar and a microwave. Pour the amount of milk you'll want in your coffee into the jar, put the top on, shake it up real good for 30 seconds, remove the lid, microwave this for 30 seconds, and voila. Two-percent milk does the trick or be more indulgent with cream or half-and-half.

[Photograph: Robyn Lee] Since it's never too early to start talking pumpkin pie, here's a question: the milk part. The piemakers over in Talk are split as to what kind of milk should go into the filling. While some recipes skip milk altogether, others range from whole milk to sweetened condensed to evaporated to even coconut milk. Usually the answer has something to do with whatever your mom or grandma did. Anyone especially passionate about a certain type of milk?

[Amazon] If you struggled through the allegories and poetic structure of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven in class, maybe you'll do better with the milk version. It's actually an Amazon product review for Tuscan Whole Milk that's been floating around the internet for a bit, but we still find it pretty funny. It starts: Once upon a mid-day sunny, while I savored Nuts 'N Honey, With my Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 gal, 128 fl. oz., I swore As I went on with my lapping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at the icebox door. 'Bad condensor, that,' I muttered, 'vibrating the icebox door - Only this, and nothing more.' The raven gets replaced...

Camel's milk is nearly impossible to get in the US, but in the Middle East and other parts of the world, camel's milk is also known as "liquid gold." Wall Street Journal talks to natural medicine practitioner Millie Hinkle about her efforts to bring camel's milk to the US so she can give it to her patients. So how do you milk a camel? Rare and exotic animal breeder Larry Seibel gives it a try. "Forget everything you know about cows; it's much different," he says. Watch the video after the jump....

Your mother made you drink three glasses each day. There’s probably a carton in your fridge right now. And, as Anne Mendelson likes to remind us, it was every mammal's first food. But even though milk is a staple of Americans’ everyday lives, most of us know virtually nothing about it—where it originated, how it’s being produced, or how unique our milk-guzzling tendencies are. In her James Beard-nominated book, Milk: The Surprising History Of Milk Through The Ages, Anne Mendelson sets out to educate us. Sweeping through the human history of dairy and the advent of modern milk production, before diving into recipes for everything from New England clam chowder to Indian panir cheese, Mendelson pens “the culinary guidebook,...

©iStockphoto.com/cmisje According to the New York Times, the organic milk business has gone bad in a hurry. Are you drinking less organic milk these days, serious eaters? Before we get to the reasons why these farmers are struggling, at least according to Times contributor Katie Zezima, I feel compelled to say that it's this kind of story that demonstrates why we need newspapers to endure. Because without quality institutions like the Times, with its wealth of reporters, editors, and stringers, stories like this might go unreported. Or, at the very least, they wouldn't be made available to the general public. Has anyone read about the plight of these farmers in any other consumer publication, online or in print? Now...

Thus far a breast milk craze has not hit, but I am a little surprised. After all, it's the perfect organic, raw, and local food wrapped into one, neat, biodegradable package. And if you are going to drink milk, it's said to be better for you. Why is breast milk on my mind? Well, Vice magazine recently concocted a cupcake challenge [NSFW] using cow's milk and breast milk: After quietly chewing for a few minutes, he whispered, “I ... I can’t tell any difference at all." But we said, “No, you have to choose one.” So he held up the cupcake in his right hand and said, “This one is vaguely tastier.” And guess what, it was the boobcake!...
