With the hot choc, it doesnt come out exactley like hot choc, its just the normal choc but with hot water. Its really soothing on cold nights.
I make it by measuring out my water in a measuring jug, heating it up in a saucepan, so its not too hot and then puting it back into my jug, adding the food pack and blending with my hand blender.
I found that if i used the kettle to heat up my water i had to wait ages for it to cool down.
Some people make the hot choc by mixing the choc food pack wth abit of cold water to get a thick paste and then adding the hot water and blending it. I have never tried it this way tho because i'm sure i'd mess it up somehow, lol. You could give it a go tho and see if you like it.
I find the choc mint horrible hot but thats just me. Its gorjus freezing cold tho.
Give it a go and experiment with it. xx
