How to make hot chocolate from cocoa: traditional recipe

Made according to a traditional recipe, hot chocolate from grated cocoa will allow you to immerse yourself in the times when the delicious drink was just gaining popularity.

grated cocoa – 40-50 g;
water – 200 ml;
spices.

Cocoa liquor is sold in bars. They are dense and very difficult to cut, so it is better to cut the appropriate size of the product with a knife or grate it. Crushed, it will disperse better into the water.
In a small saucepan, combine cocoa and a glass of cool water and begin to heat over low heat, stirring constantly. Grated cocoa melts at a temperature below boiling water, so there is no need to wait for the contents of the saucepan to gurgle. In fact, grated cocoa must not be boiled, but dissolved.
The mixture will initially turn out thicker than expected, but evenly its mixture will become like watery sour cream, and you will get a thick drink.
The end result is bitter chocolate. But you can add sugar or sweetener to taste. If the taste of hot chocolate with water is unusual for you, prepare it with milk or add cream or milk to the finished drink. Instead of milk and sugar, you can add pepper, cinnamon or other spices, and get an almost real “chocolatl”, which the Aztecs valued so much.
