Cozy Winter Evening with Cinnamon White Hot Chocolate

AD: We aren’t ready to say goodbye to Christmas. Until the clock strikes midnight to ring in the new year I will still be celebrating at home with my family. For those extra cold nights when you just want to curl up in front of the fire and watch a movie we have just the thing for you. WHITE CINNAMON HOT CHOCOLATE The cinnamon syrup recipe was provided to us by Debi Lilly Design™. I then used that to create a delicious white cinnamon hot chocolate which we served in Debi Lilly’s gorgeous FaLaLa mugs. Ingredients: 4 cups O Organics sugar 1 tsp O Organics cinnamon 1 tsp O Organics ground ginger 1 tsp Signature SELECT cloves 1 tsp Signature SELECT vanilla extract 1 whole vanilla bean 3 whole cinnamon sticks 3 whole star anise ½ cup white chocolate 2 cups full cream milk 1 cup half & half Combine sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Add 4 cups water, 3 star anise, 3 cinnamon sticks. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out seeds, add to sugar mixture. Simmer over medium until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil - reduce heat if bubbling begins. Remove from heat, and steep for 1 hour until cool. Heat milk and half & half in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in pieces of the white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and milk is hot. Add 6 tablespoons of the cinnamon syrup. Serve! I topped ours with whipped cream and sprinkled cinnamon over it too. The cinnamon syrup is perfect to gift in @debililly jars, or to use in cocktails, mocktails, coffee, and so much more. Everything you need for the holidays is available at your local @tomthumbtx store. https://lnk2.io/wx6fWfB
