Once the cold weather hits, a cup of hot chocolate just seems like the perfect thing to have! It turns out that matcha and cocoa are one of the best flavor combinations, and we sure do have a recipe for you! Matcha is bright, grassy, and slightly astringent. Combined with rich cocoa powder, warm milk, Salt Cedar Honey, and Mexican Vanilla Extract, this homemade cocoa recipe is comforting and sweet!
Matcha is packed full of vitamins and minerals, and works to promote brain health and boost metabolism.
