I like to think being a grown up comes with a few perks, this is one of them. Hot chocolate grown up style. Start by heating 220ml milk, 1 cinnamon stick and 2 cardamom pods. Once the milk has come to the boil and for a little extra indulgence I add a few drops of Pure Chocolate extract. I use about 60-80g of dark chocolate which I roughly chop and add to a glass. Now for the grown up part 45mls of rum (you can go as high as 90mls if it’s been a long day), today I used vanilla infused rum from Mauritius. Pour the milk onto the chocolate keep stirring to increase the flavour.
What would a wicked hot chocolate be without a crumbly Angel biscuit from Wedgewood Nougat to balance it all out. A perfect crisp shortbread studded with nougat.
