Drink
Cocoa drinks range from traditional spiced cacao frothed with water to European hot chocolate of melted chocolate or cocoa powder in milk. Instant mixes add sugar for speed; drinking chocolate uses high cocoa solids for a thick cup. Whisk powder with a little cold liquid first to avoid lumps. Milk softens bitterness; water shows origin more clearly. Rewhisk if solids settle.
