If you mean something like a filtered, water-based drink (to which milk and sugar may be added to taste), why don't you try it?

There are no food safety issues with taking cocoa powder (I find it in the baking section, not the hot drink section of the supermarket) and adding boiling water, nor with passing that mix through a coffee filter. You have my word as a random person on the Internet.

Test the result. You may want to experiment with proportions and soaking times, and it probably will want milk and sugar to taste like anything you recognise. Then you can read about the solubility of various important parts of chocolate in water. In particular look at what happens to fat in water. The melting point of cocoa fat may be of interest, and you may want to demonstrate the effect with a simpler model system.
