Welcome To The Spinda’s Cafe Christmas Bonanza! Today marks the first in seven days of festive drinks!

Ingredients:

200ml apple juice (I used some farm shop cloudy apple for this to get a more tart apple flavour, but any apple juice will do!)

4 whole cloves

1 cinnamon stick (I used cinnamon sticks so that there wouldn’t be sediment, but cinnamon powder can work too!)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

200ml hot water

Black tea 

(this recipe should serve two!)

Equipment:

Medium saucepan

A mug or heatproof glass of your choice

Sieve

Jug

Method

Method:

Brew your black tea with boiling water to taste

In a saucepan, add your apple juice, cinnamon and cloves

Heat your apple juice mixture until hot and fragrant 

(Optional) Strain your finished apple juice mixture with the sieve to remove your spices. 

Combine your apple juice and black tea in a large jug - add more brown sugar if needed, ensuring it is dissolved

Serve and Enjoy!

“The various flavours don't clash… Instead, they blend together in beautiful harmony in this fine drink!”

Ingredients:

250ml milk / milk alternative

1 tbsp cocoa powder*

brown sugar to taste

25g milk chocolate**

a few drops of mint flavouring extract

Whipped Cream

Marshmallows

Candy cane

15g extra chocolate

Equipment:

Saucepan

Spatula

A mug of your choosing

Two small plates

Microwave

Kitchen towel (the fluffy kind)

Rolling pin

Ziplock bag

Method:

Over a medium-low heat, add your chocolate and a splash of milk until the chocolate has melted.

Add remaining milk, cocoa powder, sugar and mint extract and stir until all sugar has dissolved and the mixture has an even colour (make sure not to let it boil!).

Garnishing and Serving Method

Place your unpackaged candy candy cane in a ziplock bag, and securely wrap with a kitchen towel.

Bash the candy cane with the rolling pin until it is crushed into small, blunt pieces. Put these pieces on a plate and set aside.

Place your extra chocolate on a plate and melt in the microwave at intervals, ensuring it doesn't burn.

Place the rim of your mug in the melted chocolate until it is coated, and then place it in the crushed candy cane to create a candy cane rim for your mug.

Pour your hot chocolate into the mug, leaving a slight gap so that it doesn’t melt the rim.

Top with whipped cream and marshmallows

Enjoy!

A light, rich flavour that just melts in your mouth!

*you can use regular hot chocolate powder, just adjust the amount of added sugar if you do!

**you can also use any chocolate!
