Warm Sweet Hot Chocolate & Canna-Cocoa

Winter is here in full blast.  Winter Storm, Jonas, came by this weekend and dumped more than two feet of snow.

We spent hours frolicking in the icy fluff which makes a pretty backdrop.

After all the outdoor joy, I poured out the homemade hot chocolate.

I remember being young and sledding for hours.  Then we’d clamor inside, wiggle out of our wet outerwear, and bee-line for the envelopes of Swiss Miss.

I can practically taste that watery cup of sugar, preservatives, and artificial flavors and can’t help but wonder how I ever enjoyed it.

Homemade hot chocolate is a thousand times better (and better for you!).

Homemade hot chocolate is easy to make.  Ditch the envelopes.  Make real homemade hot chocolate instead!

Here’s my recipe for ordinary hot chocolate and also for the cannabis infused version.  All wholesome, natural ingredients that leave me feeling good about what I’m consuming.

Homemade Hot Chocolate

3.5 Cups of Milk (or Substitute)
3 Tablespoons Cocoa Power or Carob Powder
3 Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
Dash – 1/8 Teaspoon Chili Powder (depending on preferred heat level)

The chili powder adds dimension and highlights the cocoa.  If you don’t like heat, just use a light sprinkle.

Combine in a saucepan.  Heat on low for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  Makes 4 servings.

Canna-Cocoa – Wholesome, Homemade Hot Chocolate with Cannabis Infused Oil

Cannabis hot cocoa is one of the easiest and quickest ways to take my medication.

It’s simple to make.  I add one dose of cannabis infused coconut oil to one cup of hot chocolate and I give it a whirl in the Nutri-Bullet.  It comes out frothy and perfect.
