Would you like...
Oct. 3rd, 2007 10:11 am... a nice mug of ginger infused hot chocolate on a day like this? :)
I am having a hot drink this morning and I didn't fancy tea or coffee. I kinda fancy chai tea flavours but not wanting tea, I decided to make a gingery hot chocolate as an experiment.
Infuse the milk with a slice of bashed fresh ginger (peeled) and some ground ginger, gently bring it to a simmer. In your mug, mix one teaspoon of proper cocoa powder with a bit of cold water to a paste, pour in the hot infused milk, stir and voila, a nice spiced hot chocolate to brighten up your day. Next time I will try with the other flavours of chai- cardamoms, cinnamon and cloves. Oh don't forget sugar if you like it sweet. :D Will let you know how the next experiment goes. :D
Oh, I have used soya milk btw, real milk gives me bad bottom. >:p
