Drinking Chocolate Recipes
Drinking chocolate recipes are just a fancy pants way of making hot chocolate that uses whole chocolate instead of cocoa.
The difference between cocoa and chocolate is that cocoa, by itself, has much less fat and no sugar. Chocolate has both of the above. So, melting chocolate and putting it in a drink produces a much richer beverage.
You can buy drinking chocolate mixes nowadays, but I suggest you save your money and just use drinking chocolate recipes to make your own from your favorite chocolate.
You can alter the flavor of drinking chocolate by simply buying different kinds of chocolate, or you can get clever:
- substitute cream for milk
- add vanilla, orange peel, peppermint, almond, etc.
- substitute sweetened condensed milk for part of the milk
- top with whip cream and chocolate shavings
