Frequently Asked Questions About Raw cocoa drink (with water)
What does a raw cocoa drink made with water taste like?
A raw cocoa drink made with water tastes deeply chocolatey, but usually more bitter and less creamy than cocoa made with milk. Its flavour varies with the cocoa powder; a little sweetener or cinnamon can soften the bitterness.
Does a raw cocoa drink made with water contain caffeine?
Yes, a raw cocoa drink made with water contains some caffeine, as well as theobromine, another naturally occurring stimulant in cocoa. The amount depends on the cocoa powder used, so it is not necessarily caffeine-free.
How do you make a raw cocoa drink with water without lumps?
Whisk the cocoa powder with a small splash of hot water first to make a smooth paste, then gradually add the rest of the water. Adding all the water at once often leaves dry clumps that are difficult to break up.
Is a raw cocoa drink made with water the same as hot chocolate?
No. A raw cocoa drink made with water is typically cocoa powder mixed with water, while hot chocolate often includes milk and sweetener and may use chocolate. The water-based drink is usually less creamy and less sweet.
Does raw cocoa powder dissolve in cold water for a cocoa drink?
Not easily. Raw cocoa powder tends to clump and float in cold water, so whisk it into a little warm water first or blend the drink. Cocoa does not dissolve completely like instant drink powder, so some settling is normal.
Can you sweeten a raw cocoa drink made with water?
Yes, you can sweeten a raw cocoa drink made with water with sugar, honey, or a blended date. Add a small amount, taste, and adjust; unsweetened cocoa is naturally bitter, and sweetener is not needed for the drink to work.
Can you drink a raw cocoa drink made with water before bed?
It may be better to avoid a raw cocoa drink made with water close to bedtime if caffeine affects your sleep. Cocoa also contains theobromine, so even a drink that feels mild can be stimulating for some people.
Can a raw cocoa drink made with water replace coffee?
Not exactly. A raw cocoa drink made with water has a different stimulant profile and flavour from coffee: cocoa contains both caffeine and theobromine, while coffee's caffeine effect is generally more familiar and pronounced.
Can you make a raw cocoa drink with water and drink it cold?
Yes. Make a smooth cocoa paste with a little warm water, then add cold water and ice. This method gives a less gritty drink than trying to whisk cocoa powder straight into cold water.
How should you store a raw cocoa drink made with water?
Store a prepared raw cocoa drink made with water in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it soon. Cocoa can settle as it sits, so stir or shake it before serving, and do not leave it out for an extended time.

What is Raw cocoa drink (with water)?
Raw cocoa drink (with water) is made by whisking raw cocoa powder into water, rather than milk. It can be served warm or chilled, with the powder stirred thoroughly to prevent clumps. The flavour is deep, earthy and distinctly bitter when left unsweetened, with a thinner feel than a milk-based cocoa. It works as a simple breakfast or afternoon drink, and can be sweetened or seasoned with cinnamon to taste.
Cocoa gives the drink some fibre; it contains 2.8 g per 100 g. For a fuller, creamier cup, replace some of the water with milk or a plant-based drink. If you prefer the cocoa’s natural bitterness, keep it unsweetened and pair it with a naturally sweet snack.
