Lavender Hot Chocolate Recipe

In keeping with the cold I thought I'd post a lavender hot chocolate recipe. This makes a perfect treat for those cold days and to share with family and friends.  I like this recipe because it includes almond milk and non-diary chocolate and creamer.  For those of us with milk allergies, this is a great alternative.  If you prefer the dairy versions I am sure you can substitute regular milk and dairy-based chocolate and creamers.  

​INGREDIENTS
  • ¾ cup almond milk or other milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons full-fat Coconut Milk (you can also use plain, non-dairy creamer or extra almond milk)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup, Honey or other sweetener of choice, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Culinary Lavender
  • 1 tablespoons dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Combine milks, maple syrup, and lavender in a small pot or microwavable mug. Heat to a low simmer over the stove or 1.5–2 minutes in the microwave (or until very hot.) Remove from heat and let steep for 2-3 minutes. If you want a stronger lavender taste, use the back of a fork to mash the lavender against the side of the pot/mug in the milk. Strain milk though a mesh sieve to catch all the lavender and discard remaining buds.
  2. Meanwhile, combine chopped chocolate, cocoa, and pinch of salt in a mug. Pour a couple of tablespoons of hot milk into the chocolate and mix until smooth. Use a Milk Frother or hand blender to froth remaining hot milk. Pour into the chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Makes one serving.  Enjoy!
