You did your part, now it is time for them to do what they get paid for. It's no longer your responsibility.

Is there no hot chocolate powder mix containing powdered milk? In that case it would be perfectly alright to just add water.

It is never alright to add water to hot chocolate. It should be a crime.

You could also cut out the middle man and go straight for a chocolate liqueur.

Hey, you can love an era’s aesthetic without saying it was a good era to live in.

I think the Victorian/Edwardian aesthetic is lovely, but I certainly wouldn’t want to live back then.
