In small saucepan, combine milk chocolate, dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and milk. Cook over low heat (do not boil) and stir gently until milk warms and chocolate melts completely. Add heavy cream and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until warm. Pour into mug. Top with your choice of whipped cream, cinnamon, and/or cocoa powder.
將牛奶巧克力碎片、純黑巧克力碎片、香草精、以及鮮奶倒入小鍋子，用小火煮（不要煮沸），並輕輕攪拌，直到巧克力完全融入牛奶裡。(煮好後倒在馬克杯中)再將奶油加溫1~2分鐘，完全融化後也加入馬克杯裡。最後再放上鮮奶油、肉桂及可可粉。
The dark chocolate represents the bitterness of winter while the milk chocolate represents the sweetness of spring, as Imbolc balances between the seasons. You may wish to look up “The Chocolate Ritual” by John L. Shepard or write your own to celebrate the richness of this transition.
純黑巧克力象徵苦澀的冬天，而牛奶巧克力則是甜蜜的春天；就如同Imbolc正是一個處在冬春交際的時季。有興趣的人可以參閱John L. Shepard所着之”巧克力禮物”；亦或可用自己的方式，度過這段”冷暖交替”的季節~！
