Winter Pleasure

Winter is not just coming, winter is already here.
And it is not even December yet.
It is snowing the whole day, and the snow even doesn’t melt.
Trying to find the positive side of this sad situation, I remembered, that my supplies of Chartreuse (about Chartreuse) are not only restocked, but also expanded, and the box of perfect cacao powder is waiting in the wings.
That means that I can make a cup of hot chocolate with Chartreuse, the favourite winter drink in the Alps and their foothills.
Perfect. Recommend.
Only make chocolate in European style, not American – rich, heavy, and not too sweet.
