The History of Hot Chocolate
Originating in Mexico with the Mayans as early as 500BC, this beverage was around long before any of the sophisticated brewing techniques we might see being used today. At that point in time, hot chocolate probably wasn’t the right name for the drink that they had created as the combination of water, cocoa seeds, chilli peppers, and oatmeal was completely cold. It wasn’t until the 1500s when the drink made its way to Spain, that the beverage actually became hot and with the departure of chilli peppers from the recipe, it had now become far more soothing (and likely palatable).
The last piece of the puzzle came into place in the 1700s when hot chocolate started becoming trendy in London. At this point, chocolate was still very expensive and thus, hot chocolate was only available to the wealthy. It wasn’t until the president of the Royal College of Physicians imported a recipe from Jamaica that detailed mixing milk with hot chocolate that the concoction started to garner commercial success with people of all different social standing.
Today, hot chocolate is a global phenomenon with millions around the globe drinking it on a daily basis. Some restaurants and cafes have actually gone even further and created their own recipes, offering them to clients as part of their extended menu. Finding a hot chocolate café isn’t all that rare these days, and at Iron and Fire, we are all for the growing popularity of this iconic drink!

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your luxury hot chocolates different from regular hot cocoa?
Our luxury hot chocolates are crafted from the finest ingredients, including high-quality cocoa from select plantations. Unlike regular hot cocoa, which often contains lower cocoa content and more additives, our luxury blend boasts a richer, more complex flavour profile with a smooth and velvety texture. Each batch is meticulously prepared to ensure a gourmet tasting experience.
Are your hot chocolates Fair Trade and ethically sourced?
Yes, we’re committed to ethical sourcing. Our products are Fair Trade certified, meaning they meet rigorous social, environmental, and economic standards, including fair treatment of farmers and workers.
How should I prepare my hot chocolate for the best taste?
For the perfect cup, add three heaped teaspoons of our luxury hot chocolate powder to a mug of hot, but not boiling, milk. Stir well until the chocolate is fully dissolved. For an extra creamy texture, you can whisk it until frothy.
Can a hot chocolate be made with non-dairy alternatives?
Absolutely! Our powder blends beautifully with all kinds of milk, including almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk, allowing for a delightful dairy-free option that doesn’t compromise on taste or luxury.
