Hot chocolate
Hot chocolate, also known as drinking chocolate, hot cocoa and even chocolate tea, is pretty much what it says on the tin. It’s a heated, milky chocolatey drink that’s enjoyed across generations and continents in many forms. It’s traditionally made from heated milk, or in some cases water, and melted or shavings of chocolate or cocoa powder.
