IN SEASON

Paul’s Hot

Chocolate

“I love real hot chocolate made with water as the

flavour of the cocoa beans used in the chocolate

really shines through. Autumn means warming

drinks and warming hands on warm mugs of hot

chocolate. Sea salt enhances the chocolate

flavours and means you want more…as it’s not as

sweet as many hot chocolates tend to be.”
