This almost always looks like a tea latte or a cozy cup of hot cocoa. Here's my go-to peppermint hot chocolate recipe when I want something that tastes like childhood in a cup (aka those hot chocolate packets that are so darn delicious) but is only made with four simple ingredients! Easy Single-Serving Peppermint Hot Cocoa 1. Combine 1 tablespoon cocoa powder with 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar in a microwave-safe mug. (You may use up to 2 tablespoons sugar if you prefer your hot cocoa extra sweet.) 2. Pour in enough milk to make a paste (just a splash or two!) and 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract and stir to combine. 3. Add in additional milk (up to one cup) and microwave until hot. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows and enjoy!! (Note for those with little ones: My boys LOVE this recipe without the peppermint extract!) I've been making my hot cocoa with @nowfoodsofficial Organic Cocoa Powder and it's a chocolate-lover's dream! Sipping on this hot cocoa + Diffusing NOW's Balsam Fir Needle Essential Oil = Allllll the holiday feels!🎄❤️💚 And just a reminder that my code PBFINGERS10 will get you $10 off orders $40+ on NowFoods.com through 12/31 if you’d like to stock up on some of their amazing organic items, natural foods and clean beauty products going into the new year! #ad #nowfoods".
