While we tend to think of chocolate today in its solid form, for nine-tenths of its long history, chocolate was a drink. The first true chocolate bar as we know was not invented until 1839.
In thousands of years before that time, chocolate was seen as an invaluable, sacred, even magical beverage, a symbol of power.
Some places they consume hot chocolate as thick and dense, served in Italy. And the thinner Hot cocoa is typically served in United States.
I have used here low fat milk to prepare this drink. You can use full cream milk and add chocolate also to make it rich.
