My sorrid past with hot chocolate: part 1

Hot chocolate can be a fickle friend.... It dresses up nice. It Smells inviting. It even Promises to warm you up on a chilly day.

You say, "OK my friend liquid chocolate. We will dance."

However your friend liquid chocolate often lashes out, due to poor upbringing and too much unsupervised time in front of the television, he scalds you. Yes that right. Burn by chocolate. Not only does he burn you ,but he even has the audacity to burn you on your tongue, effectively destroying any culinary enjoyment for any given amount of time.

"Oh Chocolate, Why!"

I think I could handle burn by cooking oil, molten lava, fire, rug, freezer, and even chemical, but burn by chocolate feels too much like betrayal.

Issue 1: Chocolate you are just Too hot - "You were supposed to love me...!"

Solution 1: Cool it down - No one likes the feel of numb dying polyps on the tip of their tongue. Be kind to your friends. Don't heat the hot chocolate up so much or at least give it enough cooling time so as to be enjoyed and not endured. Never bring hot chocolate or any of the ingredients to a boil.
