Today was a bright yet briskly cold day. I was very much desiring a comforting drink, but not just my usual tea or tisane. I thought maybe hot cocoa, but I had no cocoa. No egg nog, no whiskey for a toddy, no chai latte mix. So I used what I had and it was a pleasant surprise. I'm so comforted I could doze off as I type...
I mixed: 1 steaming cup of Earl Grey tea, 1/8 cup of vanilla-flavored coconut milk, 1 tbsp maple syrup. REAL maple syrup. The aroma of the mixture was rich and layered, the flavor was unexpected, the texture was light yet creamy. I do think it smelled better than it tasted, though the taste was quite good. If only I'd had a bit of cream to add. Still, I can't complain. Today was a good day. The only ingredient missing was a snuggle from my husband. He works long hours in this busy season. I'll make him a cup too, when he returns.
