Super Food Hot Chocolate 🍫
If you’re a follower of Lady Farmer, then you know how much we value the “slow” aspects of real food sourcing and preparation. We always try to consider sustainability and nutritional value over convenience when making choices for our own households. But we also know that sometimes a well chosen shortcut or two can make a really great food or recipe more accessible.
That’s why we’ve come up with a dry-mix version of our delicious Peppermint Hot Chocolate recipe. Instead of having to use a double boiler or a bain marie, this mix allows you to whip up a steaming hot cup in minutes by simply boiling water and stirring in a couple of scoops of this powdered mix.
Here is the basic recipe and variations. We’ve also included links to the ingredients we used but feel free to substitute with what you have on hand or readily available.
