Nothing is nicer on a cold winter day than freshly made hot cocoa… whether you like cinnamon or mint these unique holiday cocoas will bring a smile to your face.
The recipes are easy and you can even have the kids help… just gather supplies; pretty jars, a piece of your theme material and ribbon, your favorite organic cocoas, cinnamon sticks, and mint candies.
For Cinnamon Cocoa place 2 cinnamon sticks in your jar, then pour your favorite cocoa mix (we used Equal Exchange Organic Dark Cocoa Mix) over them. Fill and top jars, then let them sit at least 24 hours to infuse before following the hot cocoa instructions.
Mint Cocoa has a bit more prep work; unwrap the mint candies (we used YumEarth Organics Mint Drops) and them place in a freezer Ziploc bag, then crush with the flat side of a kitchen/meat mallet. Mix your favorite hot cocoa mix (we used Equal Exchange Organic Cocoa Mix) and your crushed mint candies in a bowl to combine, then fill jars and let sit at least 24 to infuse hours before following the hot cocoa instructions.
For gifts just cut squares of your favorite material; cover jars and tie with ribbons, and your holiday cocoas are ready to give and enjoy!
