A few notes on your new favorite beverage:
This sweet, spiced beverage is best made fresh, so plan ahead if you want to serve it to guests. “I wouldn’t recommend making the hot chocolate itself ahead of time, since it tends to get grainy when reheated,” Olayinka says, adding: “However, you can prepare all the ingredients.” And don’t forget to experiment or try transforming this stuff into a warm cocktail!
And if you do have any extra, while it may not be as sublime as the fresh stuff, it won’t go bad. “Leftover hot chocolate can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, just reheat it gently on the stove before serving,” explains Olayinka.
