This is a lovely seasonal drink that can be made up in advance and kept hot in a Thermos flask. It is great for taking with you on a family walk on a cold winter’s day. You can add your own twist to this recipe. Why not try topping it with mini marsh mallows or use other spices like ground ginger if you prefer.
