When I was nine or ten, I became obsessed with coffee. Perhaps it was a symptom of my deep seeded desire to be an adult or just wanting the warm comfort so many people seemed to enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t chugging the Folgers from the coffee maker Dad so enjoyed, nor was I drinking the French vanilla from the grocery store that didn’t taste a bit like vanilla.
I loved the sugary, milky drinks from fancy coffee shops that for the most part didn’t taste like coffee in the slightest. While Starbucks would do in a pinch, The Coffee Beanery was my favorite.
At first, I was only allowed a taste or two of white chocolate mocha or peppermint mocha, my favorites. Soon I got to enjoy a beverage all my own, whether with a baby sitter as an after school treat or with Mom and Dad as a weekend reward.
Before long, in addition to those warm drinks, I fell in love with Frappuccinos, especially the Vanilla Bean one. It tasted just like a milkshake! Those drinks and the special times with friends and family they helped create remain fond memories. However, by the time high school rolled around, my fascination had ended. For whatever reason, my coffee days were over.
Sometimes I still crave a warm, comforting drink, especially during this cold winter. I couldn’t think of a better recreation than White Hot Chocolate. The perfect recipe to serve two, Mom and I sat down to our mugs full of happiness after making this dangerously easy recipe. The steaming hot milk is wonderfully flavored with sweet, rich white chocolate and some vanilla bean paste. I love seeing the little vanilla bean specks! A few pink peppermint marshmallows make this the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
