Warmer Nights and Darker Mornings
Are you wrapping up already for the dark evenings, dark mornings and colder days? I actually enjoy this time of year. It feels cosy and comforting, wrapping up in coats and scarves, gloves and boots. Long winter walks with the family, and heart warming meals.
I love sitting by a log fire in a pub, with a lovely hot chocolate. Another wonderful thing for this time of year! A warming hot chocolate with all the trimmings, cream, marshmallows and sprinkled chocolate. And it doesn’t even take much work to do at home! Why not try a REAL hot chocolate.
All you need is:
1 mug of full fat milk
2-3 pieces of dark chocolate (eg lindt 75% coca one)
1 piece of white chocolate
pinch of fresh ground cardamom
sugar if desired
Gently heat milk in a small pot, when it is starting to get hot (I test with my finger…) add the chocolate and cardamom and stir with a whisk until melted. DONT cook.
You can add either sugar or more white chocolate for sweetness. And of course marshmalows and sprinkled chocolate on top!
Now I am craving a fire and hot chocolate so I am off to make mine! Enjoy yours and get cosy.
At Enigin our offices are modern and do not have that “old world” char, particularly in winter time. This is a good thing as all our staff would look to save energy by dimming the lights and curling up up for a nap!
At Enigin we do everything we can to save energy, but that means we need plenty of personal energy to achieve that, hence we save that warm, relaxing feeling for home.
