Hot chocolate (also known as hot cocoa or just cocoa) is a heated beverage typically consisting of shaved chocolate or cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar. Hot chocolate often contains high levels of calories, saturated fat, and sugars and is therefore not a drink that should be consumed to excess[1] [2] although (in moderation) it may also confer some health benefits due to the presence ofantioxidants in cocoa solids. For instance, a study conducted by Cornell University found that one glass of hot chocolate contains more than 1 gram of antioxidants.[3]

Until the 19th century, hot chocolate was used medicinally to treat ailments such as stomach diseases.

The first chocolate beverage is believed to have been created by the Mayan peoples around 2000 years ago, and a cocoa beverage was an essential part of Aztec culture by 1400 AD. The beverage became popular in Europe after being introduced from Mexico in the New World, and has undergone multiple changes since then. Today, hot chocolate is consumed throughout the world and comes in multiple variations including the very thick cioccolata densa served in Italy, and the thinner hot cocoa that is typically consumed in the United States.

That's pretty much all. Thanks.
