Cinnamon Mint Hot Chocolate

Heaven in a Mug!

Hiya!

So now it's Autumn and Winter will soon be here. I have to say though that Autumn is my favourite season. For some reason, everyone in Finland can't understand why because it gets so dark so soon and it's raining and gloomy. But honestly, I love it for the colour. I'm a very colour and smell driven person and I love the red and yellow and orange shades that appear this time of year AND it's the right amount of cold. And I know on one of those dark, windy and cold nights there would be nothing better than to cuddle up to my hubby and our little puppy and sip on a Cinnamon Mint Hot Chocolate topped with Whipped Cream and Marshmellows. Mmmmmm.

I'm going to start off by saying yes, this is not the healthiest drink in the world. But you're reading my blog so best you accept right now that most of my recipes are not healthy :D but they are YUMMY. and EASY. Because I'm a lazy blob who likes to make uncomplicated things ;)

So to get started you will need...

A GIGANTIC mug.
Milk
1 tsp Cocoa powder
A pinch Cinnamon powder
1 tsp Vanilla sugar
A teeny tiny drop of Mint extract
Chocolate, melted
Whipped Cream
Marshmellows

ATTENTION: I'm going to emphasize here that I don't remember the exact measurements so this is a taste and adjust recipe ;)

 
Instructions:

1. Fill your mug with milk and pop it in the microwave until it's hot

2. Stir in the cocoa powder

3. Then add the cinnamon powder, vanilla sugar and a small drop of mint extract

4. Melt a small amoount of chocolate and drizzle over the top

5. Cover the top with whipped cream

6. Add a few marshmellows and you are done!

Oh I can't begin to explain to you how absolutely amazing it was. I couldnt lower the mug from my lips and I was in absolute ecstacy the whole time. You just HAVE to try it to understand. It was sooo good. Sigh.

So I hope you enjoy a nice cinnamon minty hot chocolate tonight ;)

Love,
