A festive ode to those long Winter nights, try this boozy hot chocolate after dinner instead of pudding.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon high-quality cocoa powder (we used Green & Black’s)
- 1 tablespoon golden caster sugar
- 2 cups organic whole milk (we used Ivy House Farm)
- 1-2 tablespoons rum (we used Maderia cask-aged small batch)
Directions
- Step 1 Mix the sugar and cocoa in a small bowl with a whisk.
- Step 2 Heat the milk in a small saucepan on medium heat.
- Step 3 Sieve the sugar and cocoa mix into the milk, making sure there are no chunks. Whisk until well combined (around 2 minutes). (Don’t stop whisking otherwise the milk will develop a skin).
- Step 4 Divide the rum into two mugs and pour over the hot chocolate mix evenly. Adjust the rum to taste.
Your night-time routine is critical to ensuring a restful sleep. As you sip on your hot chocolate, identify one thing you can do regularly to promote better sleep. It might be leaving your mobile phone outside your bedroom or using lavender to encourage relaxation. We light The White Company’s Sleep candle an hour before bedtime.
