3. Finally, pour the mocha into four mugs and dip a snowman in each one, spraying a dollop of whipped cream on top of each mug before serving.

An Emerging Trend

While all of us are familiar with hot chocolate, the “bomb” version of this classic warm, sweet beverage has become popular over the past several months as a way to bring a bit of excitement to the drink. So, what exactly is a hot chocolate bomb, and how do they work?

What It Is

Hot chocolate bombs are made by combining an outer shell of melted and solidified chocolate with cocoa powder, hot chocolate mix, or other fillings inside that are released when the shell melts in hot milk. This eventually releases the ingredients which make hot chocolate.

Often made even more interesting with flavors like mint, peanut butter, sea salt, or sometimes colored to make a striking-looking beverage, hot chocolate bombs can easily be made at home or purchased from shops and people who make them professionally.

What are you waiting for? Try a hot chocolate bomb soon, before the temperatures rise and it’s too late!

While everyone is familiar with the existence of these two “colors” of tea, what is it exactly that makes them different? Let’s dive into green and black teas and find out more!

Green Tea

Green tea is taken as leaves and buds from the tea plant that are not subjected to any sort of process after they are picked other than drying. There are many ways that green tea is dried, including sun-drying, steaming, baking at low temperatures, and charcoal firing.

This results in a tea that has a delicate, natural flavor and does not contain more than a little bit of bitterness. It certainly has a more neutral taste that especially shines when the quality of the tea leaves is high.

Black Tea

Black tea differs from green tea due to the fact that it undergoes an oxidation and withering process that alters its taste. First, after being picked, the leaves are placed in a room in which air is blown over the leaves, causing them to lose moisture.

Then, they are rolled and oxidized by staying in an oxygen-rich, moist room which causes them to acquire a more bitter and astringent taste and a black color. This is why the final product tastes so different!

Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is simply your regular coffee on ice. This is a great way to get your coffee fix when the weather’s hot, after a workout, or if you’re feeling a bit stressed. Iced coffee is often more refreshing and calming than hotter beverages.

Mocha

A mocha is a combination of coffee and hot chocolate, which is incredibly warming and soothing on a cold day. The sugar from the chocolate also gives you a quicker boost than regular coffee.

Cream Dessert

Spray some cream over your coffee and top it with chocolate sprinkles, mini waffles, or crushed cookies. This is ideal if you’re looking for something fun to drink in front of the television or with friends.

Decaf

Perfect for the evening before bed, decaf is a great way to get that coffee taste without staying up all night.

Crushed Candy Canes

Peppermint and chocolate is always a solid combination, and crushing up bits of candy cane and putting them on top of your hot chocolate is a great way to infuse that mint flavor into your drink.

Sea Salt

Sea salt might sound like a strange topping for hot chocolate, but it works surprisingly well especially if you have dark hot chocolate. The sweetness of the drink combined with the savoriness and saltiness of this addition will make you want to come back for more.

Dark Chocolate Chips

If the chocolate contained within hot chocolate wasn’t enough for you, you can go crazy and top the drink with dark chocolate chips! They will melt and make your hot chocolate even thicker and richer. Yum!

1. Brazil

Brazil produces the most coffee in the world, mostly in the Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo, and Parana regions. Over 30% of the world’s coffee is cultivated in this South American country.

2. Vietnam

Vietnamese coffee production has skyrocketed since the 1980s. Now, it produces the 2nd-most in the world. Vietnamese coffee is generally very strong and high in caffeine.

3. Colombia

Colombia is famous for its coffee, and it’s easy to understand why when you try a cup of joe from this South American nation. The famous coffee-producing region in Colombia is Antioquia.

4. Indonesia

Indonesia checks in at number four on the list. Some of the world’s most extravagant and expensive coffees come from this nation, including the Kopi Luwak coffee from Sumatra and Java.

5. Ethiopia

Did you know that this East African country has a huge coffee culture? Coming in at number five, Ethiopia is the original home of Arabica beans. This is the most popular varietal in the world.

Here are some that you should try!

Peppermint Candies

Peppermint and chocolate is always a good duo, and if you top your hot chocolate with crushed peppermint candies, you’ll find that this combination is absolutely magical.

Whipped Cream

Whipped cream adds a creamy, rich element to hot chocolate. I don’t like to have them separately, but rather stir the cream into the hot chocolate to give it a whole new texture and taste.

Coffee Ice Cream

Coffee and chocolate: what could be better together? You’ll marvel as the ice cream melts and streams a delicious and creamy new flavor into your hot chocolate.

Ground Cinnamon

Cinnamon also goes great with hot chocolate, so don’t be afraid to sprinkle some ground cinnamon on top of your next mug. This evokes Mexican tradition, where hot chocolate is normally drunk with this spice.
