September 27 - National Chocolate Milk Day

 

Happy National Chocolate Milk Day! Observed annually on September 27, today across the country, folks are enjoying a tall, frosty glass of nostalgic after-school childhood memories. 
 
In the late 1680s, Irish-born physician Sir Hans Sloane invented the chocolatey beverage. 

When offered the position of personal physician to an English Duke in Jamaica, Sloane jumped at the opportunity. Jamaica had interested the naturalist in him. 
 
While there, Sloane encountered a local beverage. The locals mixed cocoa and water together. However, when Sloane tasted it, he reported the flavor to be nauseating.  

 
After some experimentation, the doctor found a way to combine cocoa with milk. The creamy combination made it a more pleasant-tasting drink.  

 
Years later, Sloane returned to England with the chocolate recipe in hand. Initially, apothecaries introduced the concoction as a medicine. 

 
Generations later, chocolate milk lovers enjoy their treat in a variety of ways. Today, it can be purchased premixed by the jug or individual serving. For a custom mix, powders and syrups allow us to make it as chocolatey as we like at home. 

 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

 
Do you use powder, premix or syrup? Today we even have skim, 2% and whole milk. Which do you prefer? Mix up some chocolate milk to drink.  

 
Invite a friend to enjoy the celebration with you. Besides, the best way to #CelebrateEveryDay is with others. Share your celebration using #ChocolateMilkDay on social media.
