Just when you thought playing around with plants couldn’t be any more fun, our botanical winter drinks came along…
These are the perfect, healthy warm drinks. So, grab a cozy sweater, a good book and light up that fireplace because you’re going to want to sip on one (or all) of these ASAP.
Vegan Vanilla & Cardamom Latte
A mugful of Oat, Almond or Cashew Milk
1 drop of Cardamom Essential Oil
A Vanilla Bean or Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Honey (or more if you like it sweet!)
- Warm up your milk over the stove top. If you’re using a Vanilla Bean, simmer it slowly with your milk.
- In the bottom of your empty mug, combine your honey & essential oil drops. If you’re using Vanilla Extract, add it now as well. Mix well.
- Pour over the warm milk, whisking as you go & enjoy!
Spicy Rose Hot Chocolate
This glorious recipe is compliments of our dear friend and customer Jerome, who makes this hot chocolate for our local markets. It is truly special and we are so grateful he wanted to share it with all of you!
1 cup boiling water
42 gr Cacao Paste
1 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Coconut Milk
3/4 tbsp - 1 tbsp Honey/Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
Big pinch Nutmeg (fresh is best)
Pinch of fresh Cardamom
3 drops Jojoba Rose Essential Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of Sea salt
- Put all of your ingredients besides the boiling water into the blender
- Once blended, pour in your boiling water
- Pour into a heated mug & enjoy!
Note: Drinking pure cacao is akin to eating dark chocolate. However
it can be strong for some and we suggest drinking no more than
1 portion a day (for starters). Be sure to drink water before and after.
Also, for those with heart conditions: the theobromine in cacao increases
heart rate and is a vasodilator, lowering blood pressure; again, be sure
not to overdo it with the portions - because you will be tempted!

2 tsp Matcha Powder
