A quick and simple hot chocolate recipe, made with almond and coconut milk and spiked with mint!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot Chocolate has to be the ultimate winter warmer. There\u2019s nothing better than snuggling into the sofa on a freezing night with a mug of steaming creamy chocolate milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I know it\u2019s so easy to chuck a few spoonfuls of hot chocolate mix into a glass of warmed milk but taking just a few extra minutes to make your own with proper chocolate will be well worth it. I promise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Not only will you be making a far superior drink but you’ll also be skipping the unnecessary sugars and added extras that are loaded into pre-made hot chocolate mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And by using a high percentage cocoa chocolate (I used 70% cocoa for this) you’ll also be reaping some of the fantastic antioxidant benefits of dark chocolate. Win win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Milk Should You Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I used a mix of almond and coconut milk in this recipe. The coconut milk gives a lovely sweetness to the drink which meant that I only needed to use one tablespoon of honey to sweeten it to my fussy eaters tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously cow’s milk would work just as well, along with soya milk and goat’s milk. However you may want to add a little more honey to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unsure how the mint will go down with little taste buds then try just adding half the amount to start with as it can be a strange flavour for kids to get used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you make your own hot chocolate and do you add any particular flavours to it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
