Thomas Jefferson’s Chocolate Nightcap

A rich, dark, and thick European style drinking chocolate that has been proven to warm the chill from your bones, melt the snow on your coat, and brace you for the Winter weather.

“The superiority of chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain.”
– Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to John Adams, 7 November, 1785
