With the cold, wintery weather, it is a great opportunity to enjoy some of my favorite hot winter drinks. Therefore, when at the supermarket this week, I finally grabbed some new supply of cocoa powder ready to make some warming Hot Chocolate.
Along with the cocoa powder, I also grabbed some mandel drink which goes great with hot chocolate and capuccinos I think. Now it is not allowed to be called milk apparently and can only be called drink. I think this is some EU legislation, but Im not 100% sure as I don't pay attention to mainstream things too much.
I then measured out 400ml of mandel drink as I want quite a large portion. For measuring I grabbed this measuring jug that I have. To assist me, Mrs FIRE was helping with taking the photo here.
Once poured, I could then make sure that I use the right consistence of cocoa powder which is 2 teaspoons per 200ml of milk.
I poured the milk into a saucepan and started heating it up until it foams. To the milk I added a teaspoon of sugar for extra sweetness.
In the meantime, I added 4 large teaspoons of hot chocolate to the mug.
I then poured the mandel milk drink into the mug and mixed it all up.
I stirred frantically and it was becoming nice and chocolatey!
The final result was really good tasting, but I am thinking I can make it better so stay tuned for my new improved recipe coming soon!
Thanks for reading.
