A quick history lesson: did you know that cacao was once considered sacred in Ancient Mesopotamia? It was used as money and food; only the elites could eat or drink cacao. Today, hot chocolate has grown massive. There are heaps of variations to it, especially when the season calls for it. But one thing remains — that feeling of winning after sipping from a good cup of hot chocolate, which is similar to drinking from what once was a civilisation’s currency. We’re sure that’s how you’ll feel when you try this NUTTVIA HOT CHOCOLATE recipe.
