After our successful mini-series about soups as winter warmers, published over the last weeks, we continue now with recipes for people who like it sweet – Hot Chocolate!
I remember, as a child I loved the hot chocolate my grandma prepared, but compared to the recipes I will show you now her making was more the simple way to do it…
These recipes sometimes seem to be a little strange and difficult, but for experienced home cooks they are surely not a problem!
