Sometimes milk and cookies just don’t cut it. Here’s a recipe for a toasty, aromatic beverage that will warm you all the way down to your Christmas socks. I hear that even Santa is asking for a cup of this in lieu of milk. He says you can still serve the cookies though… You might want to double the batch, in case you want to join Santa in a glass or two!
