Learn How To Make Hot Chocolate With A Twist This Christmas
The classic Christmas punch is getting boring. It is the same old red fruit juice with simple syrup and some kind of booze to keep things interesting. Not everyone is a fan of that classic beverage, but everyone does love a good cup of hot chocolate. So how about we make a hot chocolate punch, with a twist? To make this classic favorite of the masses for yourself and someone special, you will need: 1 ¾ cups milk; ⅓ cup whipped cream; 1 tbsp icing sugar; 1 tsp Motion Cooking sweet pinch (or a mix of your favorite Allspice blend); 30oz dark chocolate; peel of one orange, thoroughly washed; a shot whiskey or rum. Recipe: Put the milk, whipped cream, icing sugar, Allspice blend and orange peel into a pot. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer. When the milk mixture is hot, stir in the chocolate. Let the orange peel soak in hot chocolate for 5-10 minutes, then pour over a sieve to get rid of the chunky bits. Now comes the really fun part - adding a bit of your favorite brown spirit into what is already a gorgeous hot beverage. Add rum to keep it festive, or whiskey to build up the strength; both fit gorgeously into the picture. Serve into a festive mug with a dollop of whipping cream on the top. Don’t forget to omit the booze if you serve this to your kids.
