Question
How can one prepare cocoa on Shabbat using cocoa powder?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
You should prepare water that is a 'third vessel' and add the powder to it. This means you should pour the water from the urn into a cup, then pour it into another cup, and in the second cup, place the cocoa.

Cocoa is questionable regarding cooking, so there is a concern that it cooks in a second vessel, and it should only be prepared in a third vessel, according to the Mishnah Berurah, which holds that even quickly cooked items do not cook in a third vessel.
