Bovril drink is so simple to make.
I drink it all the time, and love it, and here's what I do.
---
Crush up a Bovril stock cube (in the square packaging - Crush the corners in, and then go around, pressing two sides together all around a few times).
Add the crushed Bovril stock cube (can also use OXO cubes, but they're not quite as good) to a mug. I prefer to use multiple cubes (usually 2), as with just one, it tastes simply like water...
Add ground white pepper to the mug at this stage - this adds to the flavour. YOu only need a pinch or two... don't add too much!
Add boiling water to the mug (allow the water to cool for a little while before adding, but don't let it get too cold!).
DRINK!
If it tastes much too diluted (usually if you used only 1 stock cube) simply add another crushed up one. It tastes so much better the stronger it is!
Parents often gave their kids a spoonful of Bovril in hot water to turn it into a pretty tasty beef broth drink.
Bovril was created in 1888.

Bovril was invented by the Scottish entrepreneur John Lawson Johnston, who built a factory in Quebec, Canada, to cope with his enormous windfall from the French ministry of war. He used meat offcuts to make Fluid Beef which he renamed Bovril from the words Bos, the Latin for a cow, and vril, meaning an electric fluid.
Hot Chocolate is a liquid drink, so it would probably make a sloshing sound.
I sent an email to them and this was their response (South Africa) Bovril is a blend of Beef & yeast extract The yeast is derived from spent brewer’s year blended with beef extract The thickener which is used in Bovril is not oxblood; it is derived from carrageenan, a natural ingredient made from seaweed Bovril is Bovril is not certified Halaal and Kosher due to a component in the beef extract which is not Halaal- and Kosher suitable.
No it isn't. It contains beef which is unlikely to have been slaughtered in the Islamic way. Bovril should consider using Halal beef in its product to widen its market, remembering 25% of people are Muslim.
Bovril is considered more of a meat extract than a broth. Bovril can be used to flavor soup.

I have absolutely no idea who inveted the bovril, but I know who INVENTED it. It was a marketing coup for a young Paul Burrel (Pre-Diana). Not many people know this, but if you put some bovril in CD player and play it backwards, there are hidden Nazi messages. DOOD!!
