Vanilla hot chocolate

Serves 2

1 tsp vanilla bean paste

50g white chocolate, broken into pieces

250ml whole milk

½ tsp honey, optional large marshmallows, to decorate

cocoa powder, for dusting

2 vanilla pods, to decorate

Place the chocolate pieces in a jug. Microwave for 1-1½ mins until the chocolate can be stirred into a smooth paste. Whisk in 2 tbsp of the milk, then whisk in the rest of the milk into the jug. Mix in the vanilla bean paste. Microwave for 1 min until hot, then whisk for 1 min until frothy. Divide the hot chocolate between two cups. If extra sweetness is required, add ½ tsp of honey.

Skewer 1 large marshmallow, dusted with cocoa powder, on each of the vanilla pods to balance across the top of each cup before serving.
