Today is #NationalHotChocolate day! I wanted to share how I started making my own tea infused hot chocolates. Around 3 years ago I started to make my own hot chocolate mix (I drink hot chocolate daily) for myself and my family. I later sold Matcha Hot Chocolate at the Kingston Holiday Market. I would scoop out hot chocolate, then add matcha to the cup. Shortly after I decided to apply for the One of a Kind Show in Toronto (a major event!). In order to make my application sta...nd out, I knew I had to do something really unique. For food + drink makers, it’s required to send in samples for tasting. I decided to revisit my matcha hot chocolate, but this time make a complete blend from scratch. No mixing in the matcha directly into the hot chocolate. I always wanted my mix to be made without dairy, so I started using coconut milk powder. For my application, I came up with my original line: matcha, earl grey + peppermint matcha hot chocolate. While I didn’t get into the OOAK show that year, I still got to launch my hot chocolates online. Now? Well they’re my best seller, and have been delivered across Canada and the US. I’m so excited to keep adding more flavours to my line

exciting update: all hot chocolate blends are now made with certified organic coconut milk powder, organic cane sugar and organic cacao powder this was a big goal of mine to make made without dairy hot chocolates with only the best ingredients possible
