Hug in a Mug: Hot Cocoa, Eggnog & Apple Cider

There's a reason a warm mug feels like a hug. In this hands-on class, you'll make three cozy holiday drinks from scratch, plus homemade marshmallows to float on top, step-by-step and in a way that's simple to repeat in your own kitchen.

What you'll do:

• Melt real chocolate into a rich, stovetop hot cocoa
• Cook a classic eggnog custard and learn how to temper the eggs so it turns out smooth, and fully cooked, every time
• Whip and pipe your own vanilla marshmallows using a candy thermometer
• See how slow-simmered apple cider comes together from whole apples, orange and warm spices, then sip a batch that's been simmering all morning
• Top your mugs and taste everything side by side

What you'll take home: your piped marshmallows (they finish setting at home), a bag of apples, orange and spices ready to simmer your own cider, plus the recipe cards.

Who it's for: friends, families, and anyone who wants a calm, festive break the week of Christmas. No experience needed. Every student works at their own station start to finish.
