Heartwarming Hot Chocolate

Julia Canella | Recipes | 25 July 2019

Anything more exquisite than a creamy hot chocolate?

It's the perfect antidote to winter and has been for over two thousand years – yes, that long.

Introduced to the Europeans by the Aztecs, hot chocolate was used remedially for organ ailments.

Now, it's the most recognised of hot drinks worldwide and it's fair to say, a cosy hot chocolate still alleviates those high-stress moods while giving us a much-needed energy boost.

This recipe is a final outcome of the many found in various books and online – you can refine it to your tasting too.

Add marshmallows, of course, they go hand-in-hand after all.
