December 12: Come Home to a Warm Cozy Beverage this Christmas
Counter that winter chill with these great warm beverage recipes! This is National Cocoa Day and therefore a time to celebrate this delight from your childhood with these great online food recipes. Cocoa, made from the fermented seeds of the cacao plant, is the basis for cocoa powder that makes our tasty chocolate drinks. Monkeys discovered it was edible before humans did and we quickly fell in love with the flavour once we decided to emulate them.
Not only can you enjoy new varieties of hot cocoa, but our food stylists have also found great twists on eggnog, apple cider, and hot buttered rum. Whether you like a bit of alcohol in your drink or you prefer to abstain, there is no end to choices in what warms you up this winter. Enjoy a beverage before your family dinner recipes or sip them as a dessert before you go to sleep. These are literally like hugs in a mug!
