About:

Hot Chocolate is the classic way to warm up on a winters day like today. But we think the Mexicans have the right idea… add some heat to your hot chocolate with some warming spices. Try this luxurious tongue-tingling Spiced Hot Chocolate. Sweeter and more fragrant than the regular stuff, with hints of cardamom and spices, it’s one of my favourite things to drink at this time of year. The result is a foamy, warm delicious drink.

I used Belgian dark chocolate here -it can be replaced with any dark cooking chocolate.
Since I used Belgian chocolate -reduced the sweetner – sweetness can be adjusted as per the taste..
