This smooth hot chocolate is perfect for soothing throats and easing head colds.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 Tbsp Marshmallow Root (dried)
• 3 slices fresh Ginger Root
• 1-2 Tbsp Brown Sugar (to taste)
• 1/4 Cup Almond Milk (or cream of your choosing!)
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• (optional) mini marshmallows
• 8-12 oz. boiling water

Instructions

1. In a tea strainer put in marshmallow and ginger root, close and set aside.
2. In the bottom of a mug combine cocoa powder and brown sugar.
3. Pour 2-3 Tbsp of hot water and stir. This will prevent clumps and provide a smooth beverage.
4. Put tea strainer in the mug and fill the rest of the way, leaving an inch to two inch headspace.
5. Let steep for 5 minutes.
6. Remove tea strainer and pour in vanilla and cream.
7. Top with mini marshmallows if desired.
8. Enjoy!

Notes

If you have body aches you can add 1/2 tsp. of organic cloves. This will give a bit of a "Christmas-y" taste and help with the aches.
