SIPPING CHOCOLATEThere is a large difference between hot cocoa and sipping 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. Sipping chocolate is made from real chocolate (the cocoa solids) 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 and took on it's finest form in the Italian "cioccolata densa", which has inspired our recipe.
