What could be nicer than warming up in winter with a delicious hot drink, such as a high-quality drinking chocolate, and having a good time?

Drinking chocolate, a long tradition

The Mayans were already preparing cocoa drinks, although they had little in common with our modern-day idea of good drinking chocolate. It was the addition of cane sugar in the 17th century that turned the cocoa that was commonly drunk at that time into a popular sweet drink in Europe, which was said to have healing powers.

It was customary to prepare drinking chocolate with water, but it was only much later that drinking chocolate with milk came into fashion and thus also became a children's drink.

Nowadays, a distinction is made between cocoa and drinking chocolate

While cocoa is made from cocoa powder or, unfortunately, instant powder with a low cocoa content, drinking chocolate consists of chocolate balls that slowly dissolve when mixed with water, milk or oat drink, depending on taste. Chocolate in one piece also serves as a base.

As just mentioned, there are cocoa and drinking chocolate with considerable differences in quality and price on the market. From sweet drinks containing industrial sugar with flavorings and preservatives, which have little to do with real cocoa, to exclusive drinking chocolate with a high cocoa content for gourmets and connoisseurs. Made from just a few pure ingredients, their natural and intense aroma turns drinking chocolate into a culinary experience.
