Cold Days & Salted Carmel Hot Cocoa.

I think they go together.

2 peas in a pod.

This morning the ground
was clear.  Here we are
a 1/2 day later & it's covered.

I had only 1 salted carmel hot cocoa
before Starbucks up & ran out of salt.
Disappointment.

Thursday I bought whip cream
Saturday I made carmel.
Monday I bought milk.
Today I put these on the counter along
with unsweetened cocoa, sugar, powdered
sugar, a 1/2 cup of water and sea salt.
And then I went to work.

I heated up milk in a pot, stirring in
a smaller qty of water. I added salt, cocoa
& sugars to taste.  Added a bit of carmel.
And after dividing it up between myself
& the scavengers that surrounded me,
topped it with whipped cream & carmel.

 Chocolate - Salty - Sweet all in 1 cup.

So I will sit, mug in hand & watch the flakes fall.
