Instructions

Let’s dive into the process of creating this luscious Honey-Spiced Hot Chocolate:

1. Start by whisking together My Dad’s Honey organic raw honey, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend them well until you achieve a smooth and fragrant mixture. Set a side the bowl.

2. Next, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam. Take care not to let it reach boiling point, as it can alter the texture.

3. Slowly pour the cocoa mixture into the saucepan with the warm milk, whisking continuously. This step ensures that the ingredients dissolve and blend together seamlessly.

4. Keep heating the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired temperature. This gentle process allows the flavours to infuse and develop fully.

5. Take a moment to taste the hot chocolate and adjust its sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Feel free to customise it to your liking, as everyone has their unique preference for sweetness.

6. Once the hot chocolate is heated to perfection, remove the saucepan from the heat, and prepare your favourite mugs to serve this delectable beverage.

7. Pour the honey-spiced hot chocolate into the mugs, and if you’re feeling indulgent, top them with a dollop of whipped cream or a handful of marshmallows. These delightful additions add an extra touch of decadence to your drink.

8. For an aesthetic finish, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top. This not only enhances the flavour but also makes the hot chocolate visually appealing, making it a feast for all the senses.

9. Finally, savour the warm and comforting flavours of the honey-spiced hot chocolate. Take a moment to enjoy the tranquillity and contentment that fills your heart as each sip envelops you in a cosy embrace.
