So I woke up and decided to have a cup of tea... not just
any tea might i add but
Chocolatey Chai tea :-D Oh man it sooo quickly become my favourite tea! It's by Presidents Choice and is an herbal tea. I don't know if it's the carob or the licorice root... but yummm... I'm a fan of cinnamon and chocolate which is kinda the flavour of this tea but there is something more which just makes it so tantalizing to my taste buds! Now the way I ended up with this tea mind you is because my friend was thinking of me when she bought it but ended up not liking it so yay I ended up with it... all the more for me hee hee. So... now that my day has begun in such a marvelous way I can get some typing done... yay!
I was at my best friend Becki's house this weekend, we rotate visiting each others houses every month; definitely remind me to tell you about that venture later...
anyhoo... I've come home with so many awesome recipes I just don't know where to begin!!
Oh hey! In keeping with the cinnamon-ish and chocolatey feel of this post I shall give to thee...
MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE!!
- In a heatproof bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt 4 0z (125 g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped.
- In saucepan, combine 4 cups (1 L) milk; 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar; 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) cinnamon; pinch salt; and melted chocolate; heat over medium-low heat, whisking, for about 5 minutes or until smooth and hot.
- Stir in 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) vanilla; and dash almond extract. Whisk vigorously with whisk or immersion blender with whisk attachment until foam forms. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
Now I haven't made this drink yet but my friend keeps telling me how good it is so you must tell me about it when you make it.. I think I shall try it this week but please if you beat me to it I would LOVE to hear comments and suggestions.
