    Hot chocolate special

    Sep 23, 2021 4 minutes

    Hot cocoa – rich, creamy, velvety goodness – is amazingly comforting during the colder months. Our love for it far exceeds the bog-standard powdered stuff from a tin. From the traditional to the luxurious, these ideas offer some new and interesting takes on the classic cup.

    Bicerin

    Italian hot chocolate Bicerin is as traditional as hot chocolate gets, dating back to 1678 when it was imported to Italy via Spain. Its popularity quickly spread across Europe. With an added shot of espresso, expect a good kick from this grown-up, layered hot chocolate – a specialty of Turin.
