Cocoa, the hot drink that says LOVE!

Ranked #14,631 in Food & Cooking, #256,597 overall

Doesn't hot cocoa bring a smile to the face of anyone given a cup of this most delicious beverage?

Feeling down? Hot cocoa can fix that. Feeling alone? Hot cocoa can fix that. Feeling broke? Once again, hot cocoa can fix that. I think this beverage is good for what ails us most of the time. Where does it come from? What is its history? How does it exert such a pull on our mental state of well being? Well, all of this is because in part it comes from the same tree that gives us chocolate! Don't you think it's worth braving man eating insects, hostile airline agents, surly truckers to bring back the bean that makes cocoa, I do!

K Cups who knew!

I have recently started drinking coffee and other things from the Kcup. I hope to try some hot cocoa or chocolate soon. I'll be sure to share just what the experience was like.

    Hot cocoa is good, but we rarely drink it. I don't know why, except that we just drink a lot of iced drinks.

    hot cocoa is very good during wintertime. i buy 1kg or 500g of ovaltine and can finish it in no time by myself. to tell you the truth, my granda had cocoa trees near his house and my my uncle's wife (auntie-in-law?) roasted the beans and made some cocoa small patties. angelblessings for bringing me to the memory lane.

    Just let my 3 year old have her first cup of cocoa this past weekend. She was so excited, she asked if she could save some for later, as it was "too good to drink all at once!"
