Chocolate Caliente

Cocoa was drunk cold and possibly even with alcohol by the Native Americans. The list of ingredients comes from a museum and is the recipe brought to Europe by the Spanish. At that time, cocoa powder was not yet de-oiled. Cocoa was originally prepared with water, so in Ecuador and Colombia you can drink vegan cocoa almost anywhere if you ask for it.

For hot chocolate, simply boil 2 tablespoons of the chocolate mixture with a cup of water or plant milk while stirring and serve hot.

The powder makes a great homemade Christmas gift in pretty jars.
