Hot cocoa drink

A cup of hot cocoa drink has been my favorite substitutes for a regular dose of tea or coffee at all times.

Uses of cocoa are numerous. It may be used in cakes, creams, drinks, toppings. Besides its use as a food, science has discovered that cocoa is beneficial for health. Cocoa has nearly twice the anti-cancer antioxidant of red wine, and up to three times those found in green tea. Read more at wiki here.

Here is how we make our delightful homemade hot cocoa drink.

Bringing the ingredients together...

Thank you Babble. Interesting information on unprocessed cocoa and thank you for the links.

We have an organic farm at our native place where we used to powder dried cocoas plucking it straight from the trees and used to make all cocoa dishes using those powders. How do you use your unprocessed cocoas? I'm just curious to know.

There is no hot chocolate in the world which is better than Italian hot chocolate. Its easy to make it at home and just like drinking liquid chocolate. I found hot chocolate sparrow in MA the best. I found a chocolate that works for ma and isn't too sweet.
