I adore hot chocolate!!! I have it every day before bed. Sometimes I will have it if I go out for a drink with friends. I don't like coffee, so that's my drink of choice. I do have tea if I am home. Sometimes, I have a real treat and go to the local chocolate shop where it is made with real Belgian chocolate ( not very often). Love my chocolate any way I can get it.
Hot, on a cold night, with FRESH whipped Cream atop, dusted with Cinnamon, or Nutmeg!
I make the hot Cocoa drink, the old fashioned way, on the stove-top, with a small spouted saucepan, as my Mother used to when I was a child!
Nothing can compare!
As I can't drink full strength coffee anymore, hot choc's have become my drink of choice at cafes and when out and they vary greatly.
I also have one at home as my lunchtime drink.
In summer I'll have a cold iced drink as it's nice then too.
Either. Though given the choice with cold, I'd rather caramel! :) Plus I would rarely have hot chocolate when I'm out as it puts me to sleep, like a baby!
