...with a hot licorice chocolate
We recently went to Reykjavík on a Saturday afternoon - took a trip into the city.
We wanted to meet up with a friend and took the opportunity to look for old cookbooks in the second-hand shop, take a quick trip to the sea, and then stroll through the city together and make ourselves comfortable in the café close.
By the way, the licorice hot chocolate was so delicious that I had to recreate it at home!
Here, after browsing in the second-hand shop, we took a short detour to Vesturbær, ended up parking at Hofsvallagata and walked a few steps along the sea. Oh yes, I love the air here by the sea!
From here you have a beautiful view over Álftanes and Bessastaðir, the seat of the Icelandic president.
In the background you can clearly see Mount Keilir, with its beautiful, striking cone shape.
And here's another view of Reykjavík's domestic airport - nice and small and manageable, right?!? We then parked here near the airport at the university and walked into the city, it's not that far here.
Because the weather was quite cold and damp, we went to a café on Laugavegur and warmed up with plenty of delicious drinks. The pumpkin spice frappó and the licorice hot chocolate were particularly delicious!
Afterwards we went back home...
Ingredients for 2 servings
400 ml milk
2 Tbsp sugar
150 g coarsely chopped chocolate
1 Tbsp licorice sprinkles
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Whipped cream and licorice sprinkles for decoration
Preparation
Put the milk with the sugar in a saucepan and heat, but do not let it boil.
Then turn off the stove, but leave the pot on the stove.
Add the chopped chocolate, licorice sprinkles and cinnamon and stir until you have a nice, uniform mixture.
Then pour the hot chocolate into suitable cups or glasses, decorate with whipped cream and licorice sprinkles and enjoy straight away.
