Self-made Mod Podge

Mod Podge is the brand name of a glue that is widely used in decoupage and that works at the same time as a kind of varnish.
Because it’s not cheap I’ve been of course interested in the self-made Mod Podge ;-)

Note: In the tutorial she says the following: “I’ve read that the homemade version can give a yellow glow after a couple of years and doesn’t hold as long as the real podge.”

Quick Hot Mint Chocolate

Recently I tried something that I really enjoyed: hot mint chocolate.
To this you heat the milk and stir in the mint coins* until they dissolved.
I used two pieces and it’s been rather sweet, but I think that depends on the used mint coins* and your taste ;-)

* mint coins are chocolate covered mint fondant fillings, a kind of After Eight Mints, but thicker and in the shape of a coin

By the way this hot mint chocolate goes wonderfully with this year’s lace knitter’s Advent calendar which starts today ;-))
