I love the holidays and I love creating gifts to give
others. Of course, we buy gifts but I really like to make as many gifts as
possible. It’s usually not to save money because a lot of times I end up
spending more on materials than I probably would just buying a gift. Either way
I enjoy it. It helps me take my mind off of feeling bad so I try to keep busy
(lately it hasn’t been hard to do!). Anyway – I used to love giving those
little jarred hot cocoa mixes. I wanted to do this again, just create it a little
healthier and add my own little twists. This recipe is enough to make 1 serving
of cocoa so just add to it for however many you are wanting to make. I made a
lot so we’d have some extra on hand. Store extras in a sealed container.
1 ½ Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp stevia extract for sweetness (or use sugar)1 Tbsp coconut sugar (or other sweetener)
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp ground ginger
- Mix ingredients together in a mug. Add in 6-8 oz of milk (we used almond milk). Add in ¼ tsp of vanilla if desired for extra sweetness and flavor. Microwave or cook on stove for about 2-5 minutes or until desired warmth. Of course, you can top with whipped cream or marshmallows!
