Historic Note‘Chocolate’, as a drink made with boiling milk, is a British recipe from the 1690′s. It came from adding milk when Sir Hans Sloane, (of ‘Sloane Square’ in London) on a trip to Jamaica in the 1690s found the drink was too bitter made with just water and so asked instead for it to be made with hot milk. He brought this recipe back to London where it rapidly spread.
