hot-beverages

for anyone curious:

hot cacao is a powder with sugar added which is mixed with hot water or milk. the consistency is therefore fairly thin, but can be quick and tasty.

hot chocolate aka drinking chocolate is flakes or chunks of real chocolate (not cacao powder) which are then melted and mixed with heated milk. the texture is way thicker and can be served as an intense shot or more of a latte consistency.

unlike cacao mixes, drinking chocolate is available in a variety of high-quality chocolates from milk (< 50%) to dark (70-80%), single origin i.e. specific varietals/lots, mixed with spices like chili, etc.
