December, but it works in October and February too.

You will need

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp Dutch process cocoa
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch cloves

Make it

  1. Whisk the cocoa and all the spices into the cold milk first. Lumps are harder to fix once hot.
  2. Heat gently until steaming, whisking the whole time.
  3. Stir in the molasses at the end so it does not scorch.
  4. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of ginger.
Make it grown-up

Add 1 oz dark rum. Molasses and dark rum come from the same place. It tastes obvious.
