Cocoa


I slowly slip


On a cold winter’s day


I inhale your sweet aroma


Forgetting about my cares and worries


I cannot get enough of you


You are my addiction


How I love you

Cocoa

Sipping a cup of hot cocoa and reading poetry by Sueswan, what a perfect way to spend a cold day.

Hi Momma Mia, Susan and Sunnie

Thank you ladies for joining me in my addiction.

I actually wrote this poem while I was drinking hot chocolate at Tim Horton's. Chocolate has three syllables so I used Cocoa. :-)

Have you tried mixing the cocoa with a little milk to make a paste before filling your mug with hot milk?

Hi again Sue thanks for the advice I know there must be a difference between 3 kilo cooking & 500 gram drinking cocoa my friend does herbs & spices & they talk about the mesh size. I am obviously getting the larger grind just like coffee that's why it is grainy compared to the pre made shop stuff.

I actually found a recipe here on HP used it & found it worked great http://hubpages.com/question/29224/star-bucks-sign

Thanks again

Hi ausis

The recipe sounds great. I will have to give it a try. I use Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa.

Have a good day. :)

Now I need some cocoa! I loved this ode to the warming chocolate treat - the only thing I'm wondering is where are the marshmallows? :)

Voted up and awesome (because there is no "yummy" option for voting, sadly).

Sueswan profile image

Sueswan Hub Author 3 months ago

Hi Fastionista,

Thanks for your yummy comments. lol

I like marshmallows but not in hot chocolate. If I was serving you hot chocolate, I wouldn't forget the marshmallows. :-)
