Herbal Tea Hot Chocolate (Vegan + Customizable)
Serves 1 cozy mug
Ingredients
• 1 cup strong brewed herbal tea (any Herbal Deva tea; especially dreamy with Love More Tea)
• ½ cup milk or milk alternative (oat, almond, coconut, soy, cashew, etc.)
• 1–2 Tbsp cacao powder (raw or regular cocoa powder both work)
• 1–2 Tbsp sweetener, to taste
• Options: maple syrup, organic sugar, date syrup, blended dates, or honey (if you want to keep your usual exception 😉)
• Optional add-ins:
• Pinch of cinnamon or vanilla
• Tiny pinch of sea salt (makes the chocolate pop)
• Rose powder or rose petals for garnish (especially with Love More Tea)

Instructions
1. Brew the tea strong
Use about 1–2 tsp of loose tea (or 1 tea bag) per cup of water.
Steep well, then strain. You want a rich, flavorful tea base since this replaces plain water.
2. Warm the milk
Gently heat your milk (or milk alternative) in a small pot until hot but not boiling.
3. Blend it together
In a mug or small saucepan, whisk together:
• 1 cup hot strained tea
• ½ cup warm milk
• 1–2 Tbsp cacao powder
• 1–2 Tbsp sweetener
Whisk well until smooth and silky. (A small frother or blender makes it extra luscious.)
4. Taste + adjust
Add more cacao for deeper chocolate, more sweetener for dessert vibes, or a splash more milk for extra creaminess.
5. Serve with intention
Pour into your favorite mug. Breathe it in. Sip slowly. Let the herbs and cacao do their heart-opening magic. 💗
