Hot chocolate rules: how useful drink is and 5 original recipes

Alice Smahina

Disturbing news and the end of January isn't the best combination. The New Year holidays, which have tried us a little with total grayness, cold winds, and almost daily absence of sun, are long gone. Spring is not yet close, summer is even longer, there is still snow on the streets, and the days are still short and dark. February is ahead, the most unpleasant month of winter. Gloomy, icy, endless… So close to depressive thoughts.

In fact, the last weeks of winter are a time when many are in decline. At this time, strength, energy, and mood are at the lowest level. Scientists even gave this period its name, February blues. So, not to spend the rest of winter in sorrow and anguish, it is urgent to do something about this insidious feeling of brokenness and fatigue.

We decided to remind you of an extremely simple, effective, and affordable tool that can lift your spirits even on the darkest day. Especially since today marks a personal holiday of this miraculous potion, the Day of Hot Chocolate.
