I’m a big fan of spiced Christmas Tea. Lucy loves a Soy Gingerbread Hot Chocolate while reading a good book. My Mum craves her seasonal Starbucks eggnog latte.
This year we’re uncovering new favourites. ATM Coffee are selling Hot Spiced Apple to travellers from their train station kiosks. Caffe Vergano serve a smooth-not-sickly Italian Hot Chocolate. On a trip to Iceland earlier this year, I warmed myself by the glaciers with added rum in the hot choc.
This year we've made a calandar complete with daily Advent activites. Today's first task was to make homemade hot chocolate with rum.
Make and mix your hot chocolate in the normal way (on the hob or in the microwave) then as you wish add a glug of rum and a generous sprinkling of marshmallows, cinnamon and flakes. You could even go for barista best by using Christmas stencils, or a small gingerbread man to sit on the side.
Mulled wine, prosecco and other go-to December drinks are great and we’ll be sure to enjoy throughout the season. But for a quick win after work, nothing beats hot chocolate.
What is your favourite winter warmer?
