Turn up the heat on classic hot cocoa with this boozy hot chocolate. It's the perfect way to add a little "adulting" to your relaxation routine.

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

2 cups milk
3 1/2 ounces best-quality dark chocolate, bittersweet or semisweet, as preferred
1 cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons dark rum, or to taste

directions

Put the milk into a saucepan and break the chocolate into pieces and add to the milk along with a cinnamon stick, honey, and sugar and heat gently until the chocolate is melted.

Add the vanilla and mix with a small hand whisk and still whisking, add a spoonful of the rum first and taste to see if you want more. Add more sugar if you want this sweeter, too.

Take out the cinnamon stick and pour into cappuccino or cafe latte cups.
