DRINKING
CHOCOLATE
HISTORY
There is a large difference between hot cocoa and drinking chocolate.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but they are extremely
different. Hot cocoa is made from cocoa powder, which is chocolate
pressed free of all its richness, meaning the fat of cocoa butter.
Drinking chocolate is made from real chocolate melted into a creamy
chocolate drink. It is a rich decadent drink.
The original hot cocoa recipe was a mixture of ground cocoa beans,
water, wine, and peppers. It didn't take long for Spaniards to begin
heating the mixture and sweetening it with sugar. After being introduced
in England, milk was added to the after dinner treat. The Mexican
Indian word chocolat comes from a combination of the terms choco
("foam") and atl ("water"); as early chocolate was only consumed
in beverage form. Chocolate has been drunk as a beverage for thousands
of years.
