Gingerbread hot cocoa is true to its name. Rich in flavor, it’ll warm your tummy this winter.

There’s a chill in the air. Time to enjoy a warm cup of goodness. You might love coffee or tea. Hot cocoa is good, too.

We’ve been indulging a little too much in coffee shop fare, so I’m on a mission to make more of our hot drinks at home. Last week I experimented with a Gingerbread Hot Cocoa. As my son said, “It tastes just like you’re drinking gingerbread.”

And it does!

So whip up a batch of this for your gingerbread fans.
