About Hot cocoa
Hot cocoa is a comforting beverage made by combining cocoa powder, milk or water, and a sweetener, often enhanced with vanilla or spices like cinnamon. Originating from Mesoamerican cultures, where cocoa was initially enjoyed as a bitter drink, hot cocoa has evolved into a beloved treat worldwide. It’s a source of antioxidants like flavonoids, which may support heart health and improve mood. Using milk adds calcium and vitamin D, while opting for unsweetened cocoa and minimal added sugar can make it a healthier choice. However, traditional hot cocoa can be calorie-rich and high in sugar, particularly when topped with whipped cream or marshmallows. For a more nutrient-conscious option, you can substitute plant-based milk and natural sweeteners like honey. Hot cocoa’s velvety texture and rich, chocolatey taste make it an indulgent way to warm up, but moderation is key to enjoying its benefits without excess.
