Ice chocolate YOGHURT

Balancing Tang and Sweetness

As with the other ice chocolate sachets, dissolving the powder in a little hot water or milk first, then topping with cold milk and ice, gives a smoother result than trying to stir it directly into a cold glass.

Because the yoghurt note adds tang rather than more sweetness, this flavor tends to taste less heavy than a straight cocoa or coconut cup at the same serving size — worth keeping in mind if you're used to a sweeter drinking chocolate and want to adjust how much powder you use.

A Hot-Weather Drink

Like the rest of the ice chocolate line, this one is built for cold serving rather than hot — reach for it on a warm day the way you'd reach for iced coffee instead of a hot cup.

Did You Know

• "Yoghurt" comes from the Turkish word yoğurt, related to yoğurmak, meaning "to knead" or "to thicken." The word — and the fermented-milk product itself — spread from Central Asia and the Ottoman world into European languages and kitchens over centuries.

• Cold, yoghurt-based drinks are a much older idea than this sachet. Ayran, doogh, and lassi are all long-standing regional traditions of drinking fermented dairy cold rather than warm, across the Middle East, Iran, and South Asia respectively — a cold chocolate-and-yoghurt drink follows that same basic logic, just with cocoa added.

• The bacterium behind traditional yoghurt fermentation has a documented discovery date. Lactobacillus bulgaricus was first identified in 1905 by Bulgarian scientist Stamen Grigorov while studying traditional yoghurt-making — one of the earliest cases of a specific fermentation culture being isolated and named.

What does ice chocolate yoghurt taste like?

A cold, cocoa-based drink with a tangy yoghurt note cutting against the sweetness — less purely sweet than a straight cocoa or coconut cup.

Is it gluten-free?

Yes.

How do I prepare it?

First dissolve the powder in a splash of hot water or milk, then stir in cold milk and pour over ice — it mixes in smoother that way than going straight into a cold glass.

How is it packaged?

As a box of 10 single-serve sachets.

Is this a probiotic or health drink?

No — it's a flavored cocoa-based drinking-chocolate powder; the yoghurt reference describes the flavor profile, not a live-culture dairy product.

What other ice chocolate flavors are there?

Ice Chocolate COCONUT and the ASORTI variety box cover the rest of the cold side of the range.
