There is something quite magical about a frosty winter evening, the kind where cold hands are warmed with mugs of steaming hot cocoa. In this recipe, good quality cocoa powder is blended with golden rapadura sugar, powdered coconut milk and pure vanilla bean to make a simple, unfussy and deeply delicious hot cocoa recipe.
