Sinterklaas will be arriving today; we are making hot chocolate just like it is made in Great Britain. Made with delicious dark chocolate. With all kinds of treats on top and on the side. Hurray, Sinterklaas is back in our country!

How you make British Hot Chocolate

Start by chopping the chocolate into small pieces.

Pour 500ml cold water into a large saucepan.

Add the spoons of muscovado sugar and stir it in.

Also add the cocoa powder to the mixture and stir it in.

Bring it to the boil for 2 minutes, while stirring.

Then remove the pan from the heat.

Add the chocolate to the mixture.

Stir it briefly but firmly.

Place the pan back on the heat.

Let it simmer 1 more minute.

Pour the chocolate into mugs.

Whip the cream with 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks appear, then transfer to a piping bag

Decorate the hot chocolate with cream and one of the toppings.

We place various Sinterklaas candies around it, to get in the mood.

Difficult choices just have to be made, you cannot eat it all! ;)))

Wishing you a Happy Sinterklaas arrival!
