Insanely nostalgic for long roadtrips where you’d stop at a rest stop in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and stretch, and there’d be people with hot water, styrofoam cups, and packets of tea, coffee, cocoa, and cider for free. Core memory, right there.
I had some Lindt hot choco packets and at first also used hot water.
But the result was so thin I quickly switched to milk (as it should be).
Probably missed se more milk powder.
Oooo, I haven’t had the Lindt ones. Nicest packet ones I’ve had are the Ghirardelli ones that come in different flavors. Those are always delicious. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled at the store for the Lindt ones though.
What’s the best hot chocolate/cocoa you’ve ever had?
I mainly use it in the winter as a source of hot water when I’m working with 2 part epoxy to warm up the bottles so it isn’t as thick and mixes easier.
Uh we do.
Yeah even with our slow, low wall-voltage, having a dedicated boiler is fucking nice. Takes up some counter space, but it’s worth it.
Cocoa, tea, coffee, whatever - it’s nice. And the vibe is nice.
Cocoa? In a kettle?
Lol not IN the kettle, but made with the hot water you get from the kettle.
Also I’m talking hot cocoa, not hot chocolate. Two different things, one is with water, one is with milk, at least in my casually defined book.
I only know both in the form of milky chocolate.
And some are intended to be stirred into water because it contains powdered milk.
Do you know the brand Swiss Miss? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0610/5464/8564/products/image_86ef1f17-7772-48b2-a5a5-248a650eff8d.jpg?v=1677099961
Very cheap. Very nostalgic. Very shelf stable hahaha
Edit: also this stuff https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YpaO6M8QL._SL1500_.jpg

Not really.
But understandable.

I thought for a second that you said you boiled coca cola
Not less bad then the acrual written thing.
Yep. I’ve got 2. One in the house for hot chocolate, and one in my woodshop for um, woodshop things.
I’m also a woodworker. What do you use a kettle for out there? Mixing your own shellac or wax or something?
Shellac dissolves quite readily in alcohol at room temperature.
