Hot chocolate is experiencing a major revival in the speciality drinks industry, and should account for around 15% of your winter drinks sales. So it's already an established classic, but now customers are choosing more sophisticated flavours and looking for more variety.
Recognising this mini revolution, Zuma decided they wanted to create not just one but a small range of hot chocolates. The Original gives great creaminess and a full, sweet chocolate flavour, and appeals to a broad range of customers, while the Dark hot chocolate is the drink for the real connoisseur, it has a higher cocoa content (32%) and a more intense cocoa flavour, in more of a European style.
Zuma hot chocolate is good as cold chocolate too, mix it up with ice on hot days. Or you could add syrups to create some interesting flavour variants (see what you can come up with).
Why use a paddle machine?
As the paddle machine gently warms the chocolate and slowly swirls it round, the air fills with a lovely comforting smell of warm chocolate. The chocolate is gently steam-heated so it never burns and is always perfectly ready to serve. Just add steamed milk, or serve as a shot of thick hot chocolate.
