Sunday mornings usually find me in the conservatory reading the Independent and listening to the Archers.
All these coffee chains do winter special drinks, so here's my healthier version.
Make a double expresso or a really concentrated coffee using a cafetiere or French press (if American).
Heat some vanilla soy milk (you can use ordinary, but vanilla is nicer) till almost boiling (do not overheat as it becomes a bit toffee ish). Mix with 2 tsp of good quality cocoa powder and some manuka honey, or agarve syrup or sugar (if you must). Blend thoroughly with some of the hot soy milk, ensuring you get rid of any lumps.
You can also add a tsp of cinnamon too if you want.
Pour the soy milk into a large mug (don't get me started on "tall", "vente", "grande" none sense), add the cocoa mixture and then the expresso.
Top with a sprinkle of cocoa or cinnamon to give it that coffee shop finish.
Sit back and enjoy knowing you weren't stung £4.50 for an unhealthy version.
Now for my second one!
