Winter in Delhi NCR has its own rituals: slow mornings, misty evenings, and the quiet comfort of something warm cradled between your palms. Few drinks capture that feeling quite like hot chocolate. Thick,
velvety and deeply indulgent, it’s less a beverage and more a mood – equal parts nostalgia and luxury in a cup.
