I learned about something interesting on a food program, a couple of days ago. King George of England had a chocolatier who would brew and serve hot cocoa specifically for him. This was not made from cocoa powder, but a blend which included the cocoa butter

Next time I make a mug (always from scratch) I'm gonna try adding some cocoa butter - which I have on hand - to the mix.

Okay, the experiment was a failure. The cocoa butter melted, then separated out and floated on top. Not unpleasant, but not what I look for in hot cocoa.
