Lemongrass-Lavender White Hot Chocolate Recipe
[Photograph: Yvonne Ruperti]
Vosges Haut chocolat's bianca white hot chocolate inspired this ridiculously addictive concoction scented with kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, and lavender.
Notes: For a richer, more full-bodied texture, substitute half of the milk for half and half. Fresh kaffir lime leaf can be found in Asian supermarkets. I used Cadbury white chocolate when making this recipe.
