Stock your cabinet with these ingredients so youll be ready to make hot drinks:
Cinnamon Use ground cinnamon for coffee drinks, eggnogs, hot punches and more. Whole sticks make spicy swizzle sticks for hot-chocolate drinks and hot wine concoctions. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar in coffee drinks or on top of whipped cream.
Chocolate No wintertime bar should be without chocolate. Stock liquid, powered, shaves / grated and unsweetened. Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of any hot drink topped with whipped cream.
Cloves These dried flower buds of a tree native to Indonesia add a rich, spicy flavor to any hot drink. Insert cloves into oranges and lemon wedges for a garnish that does more than decorate.
Whipped Cream Hot drinks need whipped cream. Buy the prepared kind in a can, or make your own from heavy cream. To make your own, pour heavy cream into a small stainless-steel mixing bowl. Place the bowl into a bigger bowl filled with ice. Add a small amount of confectioner's sugar to the cream and whisk several minutes until fluffy.
