MILLIONAIRE’S SALTED CARAMEL HOT DRINK
Serves 4

1 tbsp butter
pinch of sea salt
1 litre milk, warmed

To make the salted caramel, place the sugar and water in a pan and heat gently until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil and simmer, without stirring, until the mixture begins caramelising. Once the syrup reaches a toffee colour, pour in the cream and drop in the butter, swirl to combine. Allow to cool completely, then stir in the salt. Divide the salted caramel between four mugs, then gently pour in the warm milk. Top with mini marshmallows (you can toast them with a blow torch, if desired). Drizzle with chocolate sauce, stir and enjoy.
