Hot Chocolate

What is it?

Chocolate sauce is stirred into steamed milk, then finished with foam, with some versions topped with cream. It's served hot in a takeaway cup, and there's no coffee or espresso in the mix, just milk and chocolate flavouring. Compared with McCafe's coffee drinks, it's simpler and lower in bite. Texture sits between thin drinking chocolate and a milkier cocoa, with the foam adding a soft top layer. It's one of the sweeter options on the McCafe menu, and kids tend to gravitate towards it over anything coffee-based. Ordering it means choosing between regular and large, and you can ask for full cream or skim milk depending on how rich you want it.
