For many, the winter season is quite simply the best season of all. When the cold air hits our homes, out comes the bundles of fuzzy warm clothes and half of our day is spent cozying up inside layers and layers of quilts and binge watching our favourite series. Add some warm chocolate to the mix and we indeed have a season to be jolly about. However, winters will be long gone in a week or two, so, let’s try to make the most of it while this lasts. Use these recipes for easy chocolate based drinks to keep you feeling warm and cozy before the summer heat strikes again.
1. Mint White Hot Chocolate
As the name suggests, this sinful indulgence is quite irresistible. The combination of mint and milk is an absolute favourite for most of us and saying ‘no’ to this drink is almost impossible.
Process: Mix the milk, chocolate and the peppermint in a pan and cook all of it on a low flame. Once the milk comes to a boil, take it off the pan and pour it into your favourite mug and top it with mini marshmallows dressed with cocoa powder.
2. Café Mocha
Anyone who loves both coffee and chocolate will swear by this drink. It is the perfect combination of coffee and chocolate and making it is as easy as 1,2,3.
Process: Make the desired amount of bitter tinted coffee and add any amount of chocolate syrup that you like. Finally, blend it with some milk and there you have it, your personalised ‘Café Mocha’.
3. Nutella Infused Hot Chocolate
Anything and everything instantly tastes better with a spoonful of Nutella. No matter how bad a day at work you had, a warm cozy cup of Nutella with milk is all you need to get over it.
Process: Add all the ingredients in a low bottom saucepan and cook them on a low flame until the milk thickens a bit. You can serve this yummy Nutella milk with any of your desired toppings or just pour it into your favourite mugs and sip on liquid happiness!
4. The Old Fashioned Hot Chocolate
Skip your usual tea or coffee this evening and make yourself a mug of good old hot chocolate.
