For an intense chocolate flavor: 50 grams of mixture (about 3 tablespoons) in a 200 ml warm milk that is close to the boiling point. Be careful with your drink as it may be hot.
Wines in the Luxury Gift Boxes
Pineau des Charentes of Chateau Beaulon in the Edgar luxury gift box is a so-called vin de liqueur from theCognac. This sweet, powerful wine is made of white grape juice to which cognac ofat least a year old is added. The alcohol percentage increases instantly to 17à 18% stopping the fermentation immediately and leaving the not yeasted sugersin the wine. These provide the sweet taste.
Moscatel Oro of the House Torres in the Tosca luxury gift box is a Spanish semi-sweet winemade from the Muscat grape. It has a golden brown color with dark honey yellowgemstone tones. The wine tastes fruity (orange blossom, honey, light orange,raisin), floral (rose, geranium, Lily) and spicy (tobacco leaf, cedarwood,clove).
Elysium Black Muscat, presented in the luxurious ‘La Boheme’ gift box, is a fortified Californian dessert wine distinguished by its deep violet-red hue and intense aromas of roses and lychee. Its true magic is revealed when paired with dark chocolate; while other wines might be overwhelmed by the robust cocoa, this wine—with its 15% alcohol content and crisp acidity—cuts perfectly through the rich, creamy dessert. Notes of cherry and blackcurrant blend harmoniously with the bitterness of the chocolate, creating a heavenly tasting experience.
