Hot Spiced Carob
4

Serves 4

This delicious, warming drink is made from carob rather than cocoa and you may use your choice of dairy, almond or soy milk. The fresh ginger gives it just a little kick and the sprinkling of spices over the top will tickle the tongue. Top with whipped cream, if you like.
