    Spiced Hot Cocoa and Chamomile Tea

    That's right. This is a cocoa-tea! The idea hit me when I was craving chocolate the other night and refused to dip into the halloween candy. Again.

    Instead, I hit the pantry and decided to experiment with a spiced hot cocoa idea using this Organic Fair Trade Unsweetened Cocoa Lake Champlain sent me months ago.

    The result was amazing! A warm, satisfying hot cocoa drink with a fun twist. I've made it 3 times since coming up with the idea and if I didn't run out of Honey Vanilla Chamomile tea bags, I'd make myself some right now!

    Here's what I did…

    Ingredients

    • 8oz Almond Milk
    • ½ tablespoon Honey
    • 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 Honey Vanilla Chamomile tea bag
    • dash of nutmeg

    Instructions

    Put the milk, honey, cocoa powder and cinnamon in a small sauce pan. Whisk over medium heat until everything is dissolved. Add the tea bag.

    Let the tea steep in the warm milk for at least 1-2 minutes. Bring to a light boil.

    Remove the tea bag and squeeze between 2 spoons to remove excess liquid.

    Pour into a tea cup and add a pinch of nutmeg to the top.

    Enjoy!

    Oh! And the Cocoa Powder is glorious! Smooth and dissolved beautifully in the milk. I love trying new cocoas.

    Disclosure: Lake Champlain sent me the cocoa powder to try. I was not compensated in any other way for this post. All opinion expressed are my own.

    Disclosure: I've partnered with The Laughing Cow. Click here for more info and click here to see all my ideas using the Laughing Cow!

      Any sweetner would work, I've just really got a taste for the honey now. As for the milk, I never noticed a taste, I just use unsweetened almond. Maybe it's the vanilla?? Not sure. Although I always thought regular warmed milk had a funny taste so it may be me. 🙂

      We don't buy honey any more, but I do have sugar free syrup, would that or splenda be an all right alternative? I bought this tea tonight, not even thinking about this recipe...until about half way home from the store. I can't wait to try it. Oh, also, Roni, do you get a weird after taste with warm almond milk? I use unsweetened vanilla, I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

      I used to make something similar with a chai tea bag. Would be super yummy to give this a try!

      Why do you use almond milk?

      What a great idea! I've tried some chocolate teas, but have been totally unimpressed. I think doing it this way would make for a richer tasting beverage and you could really use whatever flavor tea you wanted. I'm so trying this tonight! Thanks, as always, for the great inspiration.
