Although it is a nutrient-rich ingredient, but like other health foods, the use of cocoa should be controlled, avoiding overuse. Specifically about drinking cocoa properly:
Do not consume more than 40 grams or 4 tablespoons of pure cocoa daily
When is the best time to drink cocoa? It is best to drink about 1 hour after breakfast. Or after exercising, you can also use 1 cup of hot cocoa to regain energy.
Should not:
Add about 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder dissolved in 200 ml of hot water (70 - 80 degrees Celsius). Adding more cocoa only makes cocoa insoluble in water, and at the same time, water that is too hot or too cold will also prevent cocoa powder from dissolving.
Add a little condensed milk (or: fresh milk, honey, etc.) to bring a delicious taste, easier to drink.
Stir well and enjoy a warm, fragrant cup of cocoa. It's great, right.
