With the crisp, cool temperatures, I’ve found myself craving sweets (and sweaters) more and more, so this weekend, I whipped up a cup of hot chocolate with a bit of a magical kick. I thought I’d share my recipe with you today!

You will need:

Cocoa powder (Hershey’s is a staple in my kitchen, but any unsweetened powder will do)
Granulated sugar
Ground cinnamon
Ground turmeric
milk
a pot
a wooden spoon
your favorite mug

1. Bring the milk to a slow boil, stirring constantly.

2. Add one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon cocoa, a pinch of turmeric, and a pinch of cinnamon.

3. Stir for 5 to 10 minutes over heat until blended and smooth.

4. Pour into your mug, let it cool, and enjoy.

Turmeric is a warming agent, perfect for adding to your comfort beverage on a cold winter weekend, and cinnamon is my go-to additive whenever I want a kitchen spell to have extra oomph. You can also charge the beverage as you stir, letting soothing thoughts spill into your concoction with the rhythmic motion of the spoon.

What are some of your favorite ways to curl up and stay comfortable when the weather gets chilly?
