Hot Chocolate with Cognac

There is only one drink which drives away the winter blues - hot chocolate laced with cognac, chilli, cinnamon and whipped cream. You will need:

150 g dark chocolate
400 ml milk
100 ml whipping cream
10 ml cognac
pinch of chilli
pinch of cinnamon

2 warm mugs/large glasses


First heat up the milk and chocolate stirring constantly to avoid burning. Whip the cream to a light fluffy texture. When the milk and chocolate are melted together, pour into warm mugs/glasses. Add the cognac and sprinkle  with chilli. Add the whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top. Serve immediately.
