Spicy hot chocolate
With the days getting noticeably shorter and the Ya Ya House of Excellent Teas no longer selling their excellent Aztec Hot Chocolate, here’s a recipe for a spicy hot chocolate from my sister:
Take a pinch each of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, mix to a paste with chocolate powder and hot water, and top with hot milk.
I find most commercial hot chocolate powders to be too sweet, so usually mix my own out of cocoa and sugar in maybe a 3:2 or 2:1 ratio.
