About Milk, chocolate beverage, hot cocoa, homemade

Hot chocolate, also known as hot cocoa or drinking chocolate, is a warm, comforting beverage made by blending cocoa or melted chocolate with hot milk or water and a touch of sugar. Lighter American-style hot cocoa is built from cocoa powder, while richer European drinking chocolate melts real chocolate into the cup for a thick, almost pudding-like texture. Made with milk, it delivers calcium, protein, and the antioxidant flavanols of cocoa along with the sugar that sweetens it.

It is a classic cold-weather treat, crowned with marshmallows, whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, or a swirl of caramel or peppermint, and it forms the base of festive drinks like Mexican champurrado spiced with chile and masa. Using good cocoa and real milk makes all the difference. Whisk it fresh for the smoothest result, keep dry cocoa mix sealed in a cool, dry place, and refrigerate any leftover prepared cocoa to gently rewarm later.
