Sleepy Hot Chocolate

I make a mug of this subtly scented hot chocolate and take it to bed with me to drink myself to sleep with – a sentence I once would have used about a bottle of whisky, but I now satisfy myself with warm, floral hot chocolate instead. I first made it by steeping whole lavender and rose petals in warm milk and making it into hot chocolate, but I would get them stuck to my teeth if I didn’t strain it properly, and sometimes only instant gratification will do.
