Instructions
Ginger Syrup
Place all the ingredients into a small pan, bring gently to the boil so that the sugar dissolves. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
4 slices root ginger,
1 small dried red hot chilli,
100 ml water,
60 g golden caster sugar
Take the lid of the pan and boil gently, until the mixture becomes syrupy - about 5 minutes.
Strain through a sieve into a small sterilised bottle.
Gingerbread Hot Chocolate
Pour the milk and ginger syrup into a suitably sized pan and heat over a medium heat until just about to boil.
300 ml milk of your choice,
1 tbsp homemade ginger syrup
Meanwhile place the chocolate into the bottom of a large mug, or two smaller ones.
40 g dark chocolate
Whisk some of the milk into the chocolate, reserving a few flakes for decoration. When melted and thoroughly combined, whisk in the rest of the milk.
Sprinkle the last of the grated chocolate over the top.
