What is happening to the weather in Nairobi? Imagine Winter without the ice, its freezing cold, especially yesterday. Every- part of my body was “at least warm unlike my ice cold fingers.
I am literary NOT a fan of this weather. Give me summer all day everyday, and I will love love you for ever!!
I know!! I know!! July is here and the weather aint going no where, so how about some leg warmers, knitted sweater, infinity scarfs, gloves, duvets and a hot cup of chocolate with mash-mellows??
I cannot categorize my self as a sweet tooth person, but once in a while I do enjoy sweet stuff. This drink is super sweet, but then again keeps you warm and jolly.
Making “Cinnamon hot chocolate with mash mellows”.
Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 5 mins Total Time : 10 mins
Yields /Serves = 2 pax
*Main Ingredients*
– 1 packet of milk {= 1 1/2 cups of milk}
– 2 tablespoons of drinking chocolate
-1 tablespoon of castor sugar
– 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
-Chocolate syrup
– Pinch of chili flakes + salt
– Mash mellows {Apple and banana flavor}
*Method*
1. In a pot /Sufuria add in the milk and medium heat it until scalding {NOT BOILING}. Stir occasionally for 2 -3 mins.
2. Whisk in the sugar, drinking chocolate, cinnamon, chili flakes, salt until they combine. Taste to make sure all the flavors “tickles your fancy”. I poured the cinnamon hot chocolate to a cup, added my mash mellows and added chocolate syrup.
YUMMM!!
Sluurp!!
NB:
Like I mentioned before, I am not so much into super sweet drinks or sweet stuff in general. The main reason for adding a pinch of each -chili flakes and salt is to tone down the sugary taste.
“Exploding flavors and a kick of chili beats the cold weather for me.” It does work for me, am not sure if it will work for you, but what do you have to lose. TRY IT!!.
Love and Love.
