Easter Hot Chocolate
April 5th, 2026 Drink of the Week
Easter usually means chocolate, and this is a great way to turn some ordinary chocolate into something deliciously warm & spicy. Use whatever spices you have in the cupboard – these listed are just a guide.
Ingredients:

500ml milk
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp nutmeg

Enjoy!
