The Perfect Hot Chocolate for Christmas

Thanking Kamini for sharing such a simple to do, yet delicious recipe. So this is coming in a little late but its so good that I just had to share.

I made it last evening as I have been down with a bout of flu and trust me it was such a treat.

Highly recommended to be had, snuggled up in a blanket while reading a very good book!

You can also top with some marshmallows which I did not add but Im certain that would be heaven.
