Red wine hot chocolate exists and we plan on making it immediately

Trine Jensen-Burke

The tastiest drink you’ll find for winter – and in this case, summer!

If you have yet to make this wonderful discovery (where have you been?!), red wine and chocolate are a match made in heaven.

And while you could, of course, just nibble on some on an aul’ chocolate bar as you sip on your glass of vino at night, we have got an even greater suggestion for you.

Say hello to red wine hot chocolate.

We know, it does, at first, sound all sorts of crazy, but then, when you think about it, slowly it will start sounding like pretty much the most amazingly decadent treat in the whole entire world. And guess what? It is!

Fancy a cuppa?

Here is a recipe we came across on brilliant food blog Yeah…Immaeatthat, and it could not be easier to make:

Combine 1½ cups milk and ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is fully incorporated, thick and creamy. Add 1 cup red wine (something full-bodied like Cabernet Sauvignon) and continue stirring.

Remove from the heat, pour into mugs and garnish with marshmallows or whipped cream.

Now, all there is left do is get on your best loungewear, curl up with a book and chill out for the evening.

It’s never too hot.
