I had a meeting scheduled at Macaron Cafe the other afternoon. After a breakfast and lunch consisting of too many sugary desserts, the thought of macarons had me queasy. But I discovered in Macaron Cafe's Chocolate Milk, a fine example of a not-sweet sweet. Steamed milk (whole, to ensure a luxurious drink) and unsweetened cocoa powder results in hot chocolate milk, very dark and chocolately—hot and satisfying, without a touch of sugar. Perfect when you just can't take any more sugary liquids, but coffee or tea won't fit the agenda.
