I like the image this conjures. A cup of char before the violence starts... From: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Snippet from a Guardian story. It reads:

In front of a crowd of 55,744, forward Bia Zaneratto was sent off in added time for a second yellow card before tea-mate Tarciane was ordered off for elbowing USA forward Sophia Wilson.

tea-mate, of course, being a Grauniad classic.

Strange way to make hot chocolate with milk... from a kettle.
Costa coffee hot chocolate powder tin with instructions. 

1 ADD 3-4 HEAPED TEASPOONS IN A MUG
2 FILL WITH HOT MILK (OR NON-DAIRY ALTERNATIVE)
3 STIR WELL, KICK BACK AND ENJOY

Step 2 has the milk coming from a kettle.
