So here's what you require:
- Cocoa powder
- Sugar/sweetener
- Milk
- Ground ginger
- Cinnamon
- Gingerbread people
- Mini marshmallows
- Whipped cream
- Hot water
- Teaspoon
- Microwave
- Mug (duh)
How to make the drink!
- Get your cocoa powder and place one heaped teaspoon into your mug so you can't see the bottom of the mug. Then add a sprinkling of sugar according to taste it not too much because otherwise there will be no chocolate flavour. Next add ginger and cinnamon. Through trial and error I discovered that cinnamon is a really strong flavour so you only need a little sprinkle of it (like flecks on chickens or something). Now your ready to add water!
- Fill up the kettle so the water is just over the heating ring in the bottom (1/16 of the kettle) and boil. Then add the water (not too much or it will be liquidy) to the dry powder and mix with the teaspoon till it's a paste with no dry powder left. Now for milk!
- Now add your milk to the paste and mix the two together, which should create something that looks like chocolate milk. (Don't worry if there's bits of chocolate floating they'll disappear with microwaving). Then place into the microwave for a minute at a medium temperature (though really please make sure you've removed the spoon, it will explode and hurt. A lot.)
- Once your hot chocolate it hot, you can start decorating! Yay! First slice your gingerbread in half and break the bottom half into crumb sizes. Next go crazy with the whip cream and make a spiral on your mug. Finally add the mini marshmallows and gingerbread crumbs to the top and placed the top half of the gingerbread in the cream.
- You're done! Enjoy your hot chocolate!
Hope you all have a great Christmas, Rekushi out! :)
