Hot Drinks: Cider, Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate, Spiced Punch, Spirits, by Mary Lou Heiss

Hot Drinks: Cider, Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate, Spiced Punch, Spirits, by Mary Lou Heiss, 112 pages

I found this book fascinating- another one of those cases where it's a cookbook, yes, but there is so much background information in the text that you end up reading the whole thing.  This is a perfect book for this time of year- the drinks really run the range.  Favorites I'm going to try include Mayan Hot Chocolate with Chile and Orange (decadent!) and a bloody mary with wasabi- served warm (crazy!).  One I am definitely not going to try is Wassail Ale (did you know that toast is an ingredient in this punch? weird!)
