Yoo-Hoo Mix-Ups

A while back when I was rummaging through my pantry I came upon several bottles of flavored Yoo-hoo that I had scored from Wal-Mart and tucked away for over a year.Each of the bottles was covered with a little dust and needed a pretty fierce shaking, but the contents were very well preserved and quite tasty. After some Web browsing of a few unofficial Yoo-hoo Web sites, I discovered these worshipped "Mix-ups" variety of the famous chocolate drink had since been put to rest. Now, after a little work in the top secret "lab," I've come up with a way to clone the flavor of these bottled products which can no longer be obtained outside of the ethereal food-world afterlife.

Chocolate-Banana
3/4 cup nonfat dry milk
3 tablespoons Nesquik chocolate drink powder
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon banana extract

Chocolate-Strawberry
3/4 cup nonfat dry milk
3 tablespoons Nesquik chocolate drink powder
3 cups cold water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons strawberry extract

Chocolate-Mint
3/4 cup nonfat dry milk
3 tablespoons Nesquik chocolate drink powder
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 teaspoonn sugar
dash mint extract (less than 1/8 teaspoon)

Combine all the ingredients in a blender for the flavor of your choice in a container or jar with a lid. Shake until dry milk is dissolved. Drink immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
Makes 1 14-ounce drink.
