Put a couple of tablespoons of hot (from the tap - not boiling) water in first, then add cocoa powder and stir with a fork to break up the lumps. Then add milk and stir again, cocoa is dissolved! Personally I can’t stand the undissolved cocoa, that’s less chocolate for me to drink.
My German is a little rusty, but I’m almost certain that this is a recommendation from Das Umweltbundesamt (national environment agency) against using hot tap water for food preparation:

You shouldn’t drink hot tap water.
Entirely depends on where you live.
In Germany, generally tap water is food safe, whether cold or hot.
But I also hear in Britain it’s often a seperate tap, as the hot water used to come from a local storage cistern where it could be contaminated.
