Hot Chocolate with Love Inside

Wintertime Hot Chocolate

Winter is the perfect time for warming chocolate drinks. Most of the commercial brands of hot chocolate are full of ingredients that are more than you are bargaining for. I love this hot cacao drink, it’s full of nutrition, antioxidants and great taste. 

I make a tea pot of your favorite tea to start and let it steep while I gather the rest of the ingredients. I personally like herbs from the Amazon and/or Central American forests (i.e. Pau D’Arco, Cat’s Claw, Vanilla bean, holy basil etc.) due to their familiarity with cacao which is from the same region. 

Ingredients                                                          serves 2 large mugs

2 tlb raw cacao powder

1 tsp coconut oil organic

1 to 2 tlb of unpasturized honey or stevia

1 cup of almond milk or hemp milk

1 cup of hot herbal tea as mentioned above

option: add your favorite super food powder to kick the nutrition. 

Directions

Heat the almond milk or hemp milk and add it to the blender. Then add the above ingredients to the blender.

Blend well pour into mugs add a cinnamon stick (or sprinkle cinnamon on top) and serve.
