Paul A Young’s spiced take on hot chocolate is just the thing to warm your cockles for National Chocolate Week. His Aztec powder combines 100% Valrhona cocoa with cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg to give your creamy drink some exotic fragrance. Make with water instead of frothy milk to bring out the chocolate's delicate flavour.
