A hand-lettered Hot Cocoa recipe in wintry blue, complete with peppermint extract and crushed candy canes, sits among watercolor snowflakes, a snowman, a sled and a gingerbread man. Read it once and you'll be warming the milk before the towel is even folded. The chunky cotton weave earns its keep at the sink, and the loops keep it hanging handy by the stove. Whip up the first mug for yourself, because the cocoa (and the cook) are worth a few quiet minutes.
