Peppermint hot chocolate

The universally adored fast winter treat gets a bubbly facelift

Ingredients

• 200g bar

plain chocolate, broken into chunks

600ml milk

150ml pot single or double cream

sugar, to taste

6 peppermint candy canes, to serve

Method

• Put the chocolate in a pan with the milk. Gently heat, stirring until all the chocolate has melted. Continue heating until the milk is steaming, then remove from the heat and stir in the cream.

• Divide the hot chocolate between 6 mugs, add sugar to taste and hang a candy cane on the edge of each. Pass the mugs round and let everyone stir their hot chocolate with their candy cane – letting as much of the sweet peppermint dissolve as they fancy.
