Hot Drink

A coffee drink served at Jause, the Viennese take on afternoon tea.

(Coffee with Whipped Cream)

(Coffee with Hot Milk)

When the use of chocolate became common in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, chocolaterías opened in Madrid, serving hot chocolate to weary voyagers and the homeless. In Spain, the warming elixir is distinguished by the addition of spice, but especially by its rich, frothy texture, achieved by heating and beating it several times. Traditionally, a wooden hand mill called a molinillo is used, but a whisk works as well.
