A wooden spoon would be best because it won't get hot.
The heat from the hot chocolate transfers to the spoon, so the spoon heats up.

If the liquid is hot,the spoon get heated because steel is an insulator
The heat will transfer to the spoon (if metal).
Conduction.
I believe as the tea is in contact with the spoon, the molecules in the spoon start moving around as they are heating up, causing the spoon to become hot.
That is through 'conduction'
yea
When you hand touches the hot handle of a pot. When you touch an ice cube and it melts in your hand. When the spoon touches hot water and the spoon gets hot. When the spoon touches cold ice cream and the ice cream melts.

The spoon gets hot - Relax, this is perfectly normal.
part of the spoon is heated by contact with the hot water .heat is transferred through the metal spoon, particle by paricle, until the entire spoon is hot.
