This creamy, silky hot chocolate recipe is a big treat and takes the edge off the suddenly very cold weather! It only takes a few minutes to make and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
To make it extra special top with marshmallows or whipped cream; for an extra kick go Mexican and add a pinch of chilli powder; for a boozy drink add brandy; and for alternative flavours try substituting the cinnamon with ground nutmeg or ground cardamom.
