Perfect Blend Artisanal Hot Chocolate

By Anthony Long


Cold seasons like rainy and winter makes people to take in comfort in warmth. They grab a sip of hot soup and drinks. They savor the warmth it brings to their bodies while they watch the cold from outside their windows. They would most likely choose to drink artisanal hot chocolate in this weather.

The creation of this traditional drink is easy and requires little effort. Pick a favorite brand of drinking chocolate and then mix it in with hot water. You may opt to add in milk and bits of marshmallows. You decide on what is your preference. Make it as pure or with additions as you like.

Nevertheless, the way this drink was made has changed recently. This was especially seen in coffee shops and with connoisseurs. The fundamentals are the same as before but the ingredients and technique are not. They utilize a more refined and fancy things in it.

The star ingredient comes from countries abundant in cacao trees. These are produced this and then processed to make cocoa. Authenticity found in these is what shops and connoisseurs are after. Pure richness in flavor and taste is present in them which are different from ones sold in supermarkets.

Choosing which supplier of cocoa is important for these shops. The leading supplier is in Cote dIvoire. They are abundant in cacao which is why multinational manufacturing companies get their cocoa with them. However, small shops and independent connoisseurs likely choose others such as those in Ecuador where they know it has competitive quality with others. They also like the unique taste it brings to their palate.

Milk quality also is being thought carefully. Some adds whole fat and nonfat milk. Skim milk powder and pasteurized milk are also being offered in others. They also go as far as adding a certain percentage of this dairy produce. It is because some cocoas are much more savored and tasted if only a small amount of milk is poured into them.

They also have sweeteners for people with sweet tooth. A sucralose based artificial sweetener is an ingredient they have on hand for those who are conscious of their calorie intake. Some customers might not like sweets much so they offer adding less or none at all in their drinks. They will inform the barista about the request.

Coffee enhances the taste of chocolates. Most know this to be true. So, they add a bit of ground coffee like espresso in the drinks. Decaf is also an option by request. Another addition they put is liqueur. A teaspoon or even a drop of it can be a good flavor combination. You know it is there but you cannot really taste it. You might get surprised how good this mixture can be.

Recent changes have become a treat to customers. They get to taste new flavors and inventions offered in coffee shops. Some even do experiments at home so their families and friends can enjoy the drinks they made. Good feelings are shared between them as they get warm underneath the cold.
