Boo hoo, I sort of have the flu. My nose is congested and I feel like having soups and only soups! But I am not complaining, because this is the perfect excuse to finally start the Hot Drinks Weeks that I’ve been meaning to do! And the first drink for you is this yummy spiced hot chocolate drink:
To prepare two small cups, you need:
- 1 cup milk
- 3 leveled Tbsp dark cocoa powder
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cloves
Method:
Put the cinnamon stick and cloves in the milk and warm the milk in a pot over medium heat. When the milk starts getting warm, add the sugar and cocoa powder and stir well. Make sure the cocoa powder does not form lumps. Turn off heat before boiling hot, when the milk develops steam but is not boiling. Perfect hot drink for a cold night in!

Mmmmm I love hot chocolate drinks, and I think the cinnamon and cloves will make it richer. I’d love to try it.
Very nice on a cold night in
Try to soak the cinnamon and cloves in the hot milk for a while before finalizing the drink, it makes the flavors come out.
