1 cup     8 fl. oz.   >  250 ml milk = 2.5 x 103 g =         257.5 g

1T cocoa = 7.38 g   >   2 T cocoa - 2.0 x 7.38 g =   + 14.76 g

                                                                                   272.26 g chocolate milk (hot cocoa)  *Weight of mass would vary slightly depending on where you are located.
