Hot chocolate was prepared back in the days of the ancient Aztecs. At that time, it was served bitter and cold, and only to noble people. The Aztecs used to grind cocoa beans into a paste, add spices and water, and beat the liquid until it became foamy. Hence the name chocolate.
Such an exquisite drink can be easily prepared at home. The main taste of the drink will depend on the cocoa. Therefore, you should not save on the quality.
If you are afraid of extra calories, you can use milk instead of cream. For flavor, when boiling, you can add spices, such as a cinnamon stick or a couple of stars of badjan. These, of course, will need to be removed from the drink before serving.
And for more warming, you can pour a little rum or cognac. Such a drink is great to cheer up and warm after the autumnal, cold wind. For children, of course, such additives are excluded. But they will gladly fetch the melted marshmallows from the drink, which, when they melt, begin to stretch.
The cream for this recipe can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat you use, the higher the caloric content of the dish will be.
Instead of sugar, you can use sugar substitute, which is not afraid of heat treatment.
It is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral in taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic flavor.
