Amaretto Hot Chocolate - for The Man Dem who want that little bit more from a hot drink!

Okay, when it comes to drinks I'm not a hot drink drinker. I don't need like 10 cups of coffee or tea every day just to keep me going. But the truth is that it's starting to get cold out there (especially in miserable England), so every now and again I like to rock a hot drink. My choice of drink? Amaretto hot chocolate. And this is the official way to do it...

First things first, make sure you've got a bottle of Amaretto at the ready or you've already failed.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
5 ounces good-quality milk chocolate, chopped up
3 tablespoons Amaretto

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the milk and cream in a small saucepan until it's simmering, about 4 minutes. Add the chocolate and whisk until completely melted and mixed nicely, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, whisk in the amaretto, and serve immediately.

If you're a big fan of Amaretto I suggest you put more than 3 tablespoons in though (more like a couple of shots!). And if you can't be bothered to go through those instructions just make yourself an instant Cadbury's hot chocolate or something and bang a couple shots of Amaretto in. Trust me, it works!

When it comes to Amaretto, yes, The Man Dem should cook...
