Recipe Type: Drinks | Serves: 2
Ingredients
Oat Milk: 1 cup
Water: 1 cup
Peppermint Tea Bag: 1-2 (depending on how strong of a flavour you want!)
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: 2 tbsp
Cane Sugar: 2 tbsp
Vanilla Extract: 3-4 drops
Dark Chocolate Chips: 2 tbsp
Vegan Marshmallows: a handful
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine oat milk, water, cocoa powder, cane sugar and vanilla extract. Add in the peppermint teabag.
Slowly heat and whisk ingredients together until combined.
Meanwhile, in a large mug, add in chocolate chips and marshmallows.
Once warm enough, pour hot chocolate mixture into mug, and mix with a spoon. Add more marshmallows if desired. Enjoy!
If you like a sweeter hot chocolate, feel free to add more sugar or sweeter chocolate chips.My favourite vegan marshmallows are either the Dandies Vanilla flavoured, or the PC Plant Based Vanilla! Both are delicious and add the perfect touch to this recipe!
