lavender hot chocolate

it's been very rainy in brisbane all week and the temperature in our office has been chilly. chilly weather calls for hot chocolate in my books. the other day i stumbled across this lavender hot chocolate recipe. doesn't it look delicious and devine. i wonder what it would taste like. as beautiful as it looks i hope.





2 cups whole milk
3 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
1 ounce milk chocolate
1/4 teaspoon lavender buds

heat milk and lavender over medium heat, whisking occasionally until the milk begins to simmer. remove from heat and let lavender steep for 5 minutes. strain lavender and return milk to saucepan. over medium heat, add chocolate and mix until chocolate is melted and incorporated. whisk milk mixture for 10 - 20 seconds until frothy. pour into mugs and serve with a dollop of whipped cream. enjoy with loved ones.
