We recently made a trip to Edinburgh and were fortunate enough to have the chance to meet up with Kevin’s cousin Melanie, who we were seeing in-person for the very first time! We stopped by the charming cafe, Hata, for a hot drink, and I fell in love with their hot chocolate with mint and spirulina, so set out to re-create it once we got home. Here is what I came up with, and I hope you will find it a palatable way to enjoy a bit of green this holiday season! And, if you are in the mood for a festive mocktail-type drink, be sure to take a look at my Three Fruit Spritzer recipe.
Ingredients:
2 cups plant-based milk
2 tbs. raw cacao powder
2 tbs. maple syrup, palm sugar or powdered xylitol
4 drops mint flavor
1/4 tsp. spirulina powder
Instructions:
Place all ingredients into a small pot and gently warm on the stove. Do not allow to get to boiling. Mix well with a whisk to fully incorporate the cacao and spirulina powders. Pour into two mugs and top with a vegan marshmallow, if desired! Enjoy your spirulina mint hot chocolate immediately before it cools. Serves 2.
