“This holiday season we’re keeping calm and cozy with this soothing hot chocolate recipe 🌿

Botanical Hot Chocolate
honey1 tbsp marshmallow root1 tbsp ashwagandha powder1 tbsp calendula 2-3 tbsp cocoa powder1.5 cups of milk of your choice

1. In a small-medium sized pot, add a drizzle of honey and your botanicals. Then, add your cocoa powder and milk.

2. Bring to a boil and stir for 5 minutes, then take off the heat.

3. Strain, pour into a mug and enjoy!

(optional- top with cinnamon!)

Marshmallow root contains high levels of flavonoids that may support the body and help reduce stress on the lungs. Ashwagandha powder traditionally has been used to help manage anxiety and stress as well as mood support. Calendula contains carotenoids and flavonoids as well as antioxidants, making it a common ingredient in skincare products, due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Cocoa powder may improve blood flow and support healthy blood pressure. It also may have mood enhancement properties.

Looking for a soothing and strengthening hair oil? We got you covered!

Peppermint is used to cool and improve blood flow to the scalp. Hibiscus and Eucalyptus are solid choices, due to antioxidant properties. Red Clover Blossom is also beneficial thanks to its high isoflavone content. Calendula and chamomile have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the scalp. Finally, you’ll want to use a carrier oil such as rosemary to infuse your botanicals.

You’ll want to start with a clean dry jar and dried botanicals (this step is important to avoid bacteria). Make sure they’re ground so they can infuse better!

We recommend this ratio of botanicals:
1 part hibiscus
1 part peppermint
1 part eucalyptus
2 parts red clover blossom
2 parts calendula
1 part chamomile

Add the botanicals to a clean jar. Add your carrier oil and make sure it fills to the top. Then, you’ll want to use a spoon or a chopstick to push your botanicals down into the oil. Be sure to check the bottom for any dry ingredients. Wait until all the bubbles stop, then cover your jar with parchment paper and add the lid.

Leave in a cool, dry place for 3 weeks to a month, then strain. Be sure to inspect your oil before use.

*If it smells funny or looks off, DO NOT RISK IT*
