Even without the addition of a slug of brandy, you’d get drunk on the heady taste of this fabulous hot chocolate drink. Surely the ultimate comfort drink. Cures everything from a broken-heart to bunions. Honestly.

Make my heart melt:
- Lightly whip the cream and put it to one side. Chop the chocolate into fine pieces
- Heat the milk in a saucepan.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar, brandy and most of the chocolate – saving just enough to sprinkle on the top.
- Spoon into the glasses and top with a flourish of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate.
- Curl up on the sofa with a good book and savour.
