For cold and rainy days: A chocolate bomb that lifts the mood with the first sip

Hot chocolate or the drink of the gods, as the ancient Aztec civilizations called it, did not get such an epithet in vain. Namely, although hot chocolate is mainly consumed for pleasure, it also has its healing properties due to the antioxidants found in cocoa. It was even used in medicine as a remedy for stomach problems until the 19th century. Today, we know that this magical chocolate drink will relieve cough, as well as have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. Chocolate itself has been especially valued for centuries and is credited with aphrodisiac properties, and according to Aztec legend, hot chocolate was considered the drink of the gods in paradise, and was also used for various rituals. The drink is usually made of chocolate or cocoa powder, warm milk, water, sweet sour cream, sugar ... It is a drink that is popular all over the world and is made in different ways. Cocoa is the basis of all beverages, and they generally differ in density or additional aromas. For example, in Italy hot chocolate is really thick, while in America it is common for it to be sparse, like milk. With the first snowflakes or after a hard day a cup of this hot beverage will come as a real treat. There are also purchased versions, but, of course, you can also make this chocolate magic yourself. You can also experiment with flavors, with the addition of even chili, ginger, cinnamon, pieces of orange, liqueur, rum, wine or various aromatic flavors of chocolate, and decorate with whipped cream, biscuits ...
