CREAMY HOT COCOA




Cocoa comes from the cocoa tree, native to the Amazon, Brazil.

Being a very healthy fruit, it is necessary to consume it in bitter chocolate with at least 60% of cocoa in its composition. 

Among the many health benefits, some can be highlighted:
  • stimulation of the brain through proliferation of neurons;
  • combats depression, stimulates mental disposition and relieves stress;
  • combats hypertension and bad cholesterol;
  • stimulates the good functioning of the heart;
  • moisturizes and oxygenates the skin due to its composition of retinol, ascorbic acid and vitamins A, B1, B2 and B3.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 10 tablespoons of powdered quality cocoa (unsweetened)
  • 3/4 Tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 400ml Water
  • 300ml Milk
  • 200ml Heavy Cream
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Method:

Boil 100ml of water. In a small pot, place the cocoa, sugar and salt.

Add the boiled water to the ingredients, mixing everything, and lightly boil on low heat, while stirring for 2 minutes. Take care that it does not burn. Turn off the stove.

Add milk, remaining water and cream, stirring well. Heat until very hot, but do not boil, continuing to stir.

Finally, turn the stove off and add the vanilla extract.

You can drink your Cocoa as it is, or if you prefer, add some whipped cream!
