Submarino (beverage)

The submarino (meaning "submarine" in Spanish) or remo (meaning "oar") is a beverage traditionally drunk in Argentina and Uruguay. It consists of a bar of dark chocolate melted inside a glass of hot milk and stirred with a long spoon (similar to an iced tea spoon) until the chocolate is completely dissolved.

It is most typically enjoyed in the winter, and is traditionally served in a long, glass cup held in a metal cup holder. The holder is designed with a handle so that the glass can be held without burning oneself, as the submarino is served piping hot to ensure that the chocolate melts completely.[1] [2]

The following images show the traditional preparation of the submarino:

• 
  Step 1: A cup of hot milk is served with a bar of chocolate alongside it
• 
  Step 2: The chocolate is dropped into the milk
• 
  Step 3: The beverage is stirred vigorously with the spoon until the chocolate is entirely melted
• 
  Step 4: Bubbles will form on the surface once the chocolate is fully dissolved
