    Hot chocolate milk

    Hot Chocolate Milk is a comfort drink on a cold winter morning. It is ideal to serve  children who are fussy to drink milk in any form. It is a good to have hot chocolate milk after breakfast.

    Waking up to a nail biting chilly morning, I really hate that alarm sound which alerts me to start my day. Nothing is more comforting than a cup of hot beverage. Winter calls for hot and warm soothing drinks, hot chocolate drink is ideal for children, it is one of the drinks my children relish and is easy to prepare.

    This is the second post of the 2nd Week of Blogging Marathon #96 with the “Kids Favourite” with the theme “Winter Warmers” The first one was Badam Milk.

    • tired of the usual tea and coffee
    • fussy children
    • on cold winter mornings
    • when you are feeling bored
    • when you have close friends at home
