Yesterday was the Winter Solstice which means we're now calling in longer days and more sunshine.
Until that happens though, one good thing about this cold weather is that it's always time for hot chocolate around here!
This is a really hearty and nourishing version and my kids and I love it!
The addition of the gelatin makes it a bit foamy, almost like there are melted marshmallows in it!
Plus how cool is it that the same combination of essential oils in this recipe also makes a brilliant chai diffuser blend #versatile
CHAI HOT CHOCOLATE
1 litre Coco Quench
2 heaped tbs raw cacao
2 heaped tbs xylitol (or honey, maple syrup etc)
2 tbs grass-fed gelatin
2 ts vanilla extract

1 tbs butter or ghee (optional)
-
1 drop Wild Orange*
1 drop Cardamom*
1 drop Cinnamon*

Add the oils and mix again for a few seconds at SP 9 before serving.

So who wants hot chocolate now?
This hot chocolate is like a big warm hug to me, so when you make it please let me know what you think! xx
