Original Hot Beverages
In the dark days of winter, we pile on layers of extra clothes and turn up the fire in an attempt to banish the cold. We are warm on the outside, but why should our insides do without? They deserve to be warmed up too!
The perfect thing to remedy this is a hot drink, made up of your favourite ingredients; they are delicious, warm and also satisfying. Here are a few may like to try that are both tasty and warming.
Two obvious ones are cream or marshmallows; these basically act as sweeteners and don’t add much to the taste.
Peppermint, on the other hand, really gives a lovely, minty flavor to the chocolate. This can be doing a few drops of essence, or even a candy cane. If you are a fan of minted chocolate you will love this.
An indulgent way to make hot chocolate is to pop some chocolate into a cup and melt it by pouring on boiling milk. This is rich, delicious hot chocolate, not the substitute which comes courtesy of instant powder or granules.
These are all great drinks, but what if you fancy something more fruity than chocolaty? Hot fruity drinks are very tasty and have a bit of sharpness to them thanks to the fruit.
Hot Cider could just be the drink that you’re looking for. Add some spices to give it a kick, or sweeten it up by adding something like Caramel.
A very sweet drink that gives the impression of being a dessert is easily created by adding Nutella to your coffee. Coffee with Hazelnuts is a well known beverage, and the inclusion of chocolate into the mix is surprisingly good.
