Most children enjoy a nice hot cup of cocoa during the winter. Hot cocoa is a staple of the holidays. This sweet treat has come a long way from its beginnings.

Years later, English people added sugar, and hot cocoa became a popular dessert drink. Kings and queens enjoyed the sweet treat after dinner. Rich families bought cocoa beans to treat their children. They even served the beans to their guests. As it was considered a delicacy, hot cocoa served as a sign of wealth. People even used cocoa beans as money!

He drank a spiced cup of cocoa every morning. People all over believed it had healing properties. They used it for stomach aches.
