Preparation
Cola Cao comes in powder form and is intended to be mixed with milk, but can also be mixed with water or soya milk. It can also be added to breakfast cereal or used as a baking ingredient.
Especially throughout Spain, Cola Cao is a popular accompaniment to breakfast, lunch or dinner. Children often dunk María biscuits in the Cola Cao milk. In recent decades, it is also served in one serving envelopes at nearly every cafe as an alternative to coffee. Cola Cao is much thicker than the hot chocolate drinks found in many other countries, but much less than Spanish-style chocolate. It does not dissolve quickly and is often served with a tea spoon. Competing brands like Nesquik have promoted their quick solubility. Currently Cola Cao is sold in the "classic" version for those who grow fond of eating the unsolved lumps and as "Cola Cao Turbo" for those who want a homogeneous liquid.

Famous quotes containing the word preparation:
“With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“It’s sad but true that if you focus your attention on housework and meal preparation and diapers, raising children does start to look like drudgery pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you see yourself as nothing less than your child’s nurturer, role model, teacher, spiritual guide, and mentor, your days take on a very different cast.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
“Living each day as a preparation for the next is an exciting way to live. Looking forward to something is much more fun than looking back at something—and much more constructive. If we can prepare ourselves so that we never have to think, “Oh, if I had only known, if I had only been ready,” our lives can really be the great adventure we so passionately want them to be.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
