Ginger Hot Chocolate
Whenever I look in my spice cupboard and see that I have only about ¼ teaspoon of a particular spice left, what is my first instinct? Not to buy more. Oh no, that sounds like something a normal person would do. I obviously dump it into the next drink I make.
Like the time I made Chili White Hot Chocolate. Now that was a good drink. I would never had put chili powder in a drink had I had more than ¼ teaspoon of this spice. It's a compulsion I tell you!
I'm just wondering whether I will still be that crazy when I have ¼ teaspoon left of oregano..
What do you think? Oregano hot chocolate? Mocha Oregano Latte? Will any of these drinks be the new food trend? You heard it here first folks!
It just started raining again after some gorgeous days we've been having, so I needed something warm and comforting in this cold weather. And this Ginger Hot Chocolate really hits the spot. The best part is, it's so easy to make! It's the perfect drink to start your morning off, or to relax with at night.

Nice flavors, I love ginger! This would warm me right up 🙂
I love using different spices in hot chocolate - ginger sounds perfect (oregano -- hmmmm... should be interesting, lol. Maybe in a Bloody Mary).
