Thick cocoa with cinnamon is true coziness in a cup, a drink that warms and provides a sense of comfort. Its history traces back to European traditions where cocoa was seen not just as a treat but as an elixir of vitality. The rich flavor of cocoa powder harmonizes with the delicate aroma of cinnamon, while the addition of starch gives the drink a velvety texture, making it thick and enveloping. The taste is sweet with a slight spicy note, and the addition of heated milk adds extra depth and softness. Perfect for cozy evenings, it pairs well with cookies or chocolate desserts. Served hot in a warmed cup, it retains heat and reveals all the aromas of the ingredients. This is not just a drink – it's a small journey into the world of enjoyment and tranquility.
