Hot chocolate with coffee is a drink with an exquisite taste that can be drunk in a cafe and at home. Let’s try to cook it at home and make our family happy—a step-by-step recipe.
Chocolate notes, a tart coffee flavor, and a soft milk shade create a fantastic harmony and make the drink exciting and unforgettable. The most critical glass product that warms the soul and heart is chocolate. Of course, you can follow the path of the ancient Mayans and make hot chocolate from crushed cocoa beans, but it’s much quicker and easier to make it from dark chocolate. Since the taste and aroma of the drink depends on the quality of chocolate, choose the best quality chocolate without fillers and additives such as dyes, preservatives, GMOs… You can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate, or special cooking chocolate. Whatever ingredient you choose, it should be of the best quality.
The liquid base of hot chocolate is milk, which can replace with cream or water. The last option is lighter, more dietary, and with a bland taste. Therefore, one must carefully season such a drink with spices—a drink with milk or cream with a more pleasant taste and higher calories. Light and delicate, hot chocolate is made from water and milk. When brewing coffee, you can add cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, cardamom, chili pepper to the drink, and brandy, rum, and liqueur to the finished glass. Alcohol and spices infuse hot chocolate with a unique flavor.
