- 1 1/2 cups milk

Instructions
- Prepare the dry mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and salt. Ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
- Add the milk: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to ensure all lumps are dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
