My Noggin!

• Notes: This bow reminds me of Blair Waldorf, but I think it’s sometimes more reminiscent of Dolores Umbridge when I wear it! I had a few errands to run at my local bank & at the supermarket so off I trundled with my trusty umbrella only to be drenched within minutes! Tres dépassé! My umbrella was so tiny it left me with soggy socks, squishy shoes & a damp skirt. So to avoid the same mistake on the way back I caught a business-class taxi home. (how naughty!)

When I arrived home I was in need of some warmth, so I whipped up a little treat - delicious hot chocolate - Bella style! Here’s the recipe for all you chocoholics.

Bella’s Hot Chocolate

Put 250ml (1cup) full cream milk, 125ml (1/2 cup) pure pouring cream, 45ml Frangelico Liqueur & 50g chocolate pieces into a small saucepan over a low to medium heat. Stir gently with a whisk until hot. If you like, you can whisk it up till its frothy and full of bubbles. Have a warmed coffee or chocolate pot ready and waiting. You want your hot chocolate to be between 65-70 degrees Celsius. Any hotter and the sugars in the chocolate & milk will burn (& perhaps your tongue!). Makes enough for one big mug or several small cups. Enough to share, or spoil just yourself. (you devil you!)

I had my hot chocolate with some miniature angel cakes & then I stretched out on the couch & had a nap - delicious! How do you enjoy your hot chocolate?
