Hot Chocolate

I stumbled upon this post from Ronell of

My French Kitchen

which I simply just couldn’t resist. While reading her post, I have to stop and mentally, I’m scanning my pantry if I have chocolate chips and the moment I remember that I have some, I suddenly had this “I-have-to-make-it-right-now” feeling. So indeed I made! Might be quite different from the

Original Recipe

but I’m very satisfied. Yummmm, it was such an indulgence! I really enjoyed it. Thanks to Ronell.

Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 Tablespoon heap of cooking chocolate chips
1 Cinnamon stick



Heat Milk in a pan, add chocolate chips whilst stirring constantly until totally melted, simmer for 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from stove whisk vigorously using wire whisk or frother until foamy. Serve in a cup and a cinnamon stick. Instead of stirring it with a teaspoon, use the cinnamon stick to stir the hot chocolate to infuse the flavor of cinnamon.

CAIPIRINHA

Caipirinha

“CACHAÇA” (pronounced as ca-sha-sa), which is spirit distilled from sugar cane, an essential ingredient for caipirinha. This popular Brazilian drink is very easy to prepare. I love caipirinha and I always have some CACHAÇA at home, I’m not drinking it everyday but I feel like having some from time to time and I like to serve it for visitors as an appetizing drink served with some chippies and olives.

For 1 glass of caipirinha:

2 pieces lime
2 tablespoons sugar
1 glass finely crushed ice
1 shot of CACHAÇA

Cut off the ends of the lime with the white pitt and slice into two. Remove the white pitt at the center of each slice and cut into 2 parts. Litterally cut them into quarts without the bitter pitt at the center of the lime. Place the lime into a glass and add sugar; combine two ingredients by crushing with pestle until well combine and juice of the lime is well mixed with sugar. Add finely crushed ice and CACHAÇA; shake the mixture with a shaker. Pour back to the glass and serve.

Cheers!
