Instructions
Pour
400 ml Skimmed milk
and
100 ml Light coconut milk
into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Stir in
2 tablespoon Honey
,
2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
and
1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
and turn down to a simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour into mugs and serve with
Whipped cream and candy canes
(optional).
Notes
Use whipped cream and candy canes to make this hot chocolate a little more indulgent, or you can just leave them out.
We used a mixture of skimmed milk and coconut milk, but you could use just skimmed milk to make this lower in calories.
Want to keep this vegan? Use almond milk and swap the honey for maple syrup.
To make this even more indulgent, then you can melt some dark chocolate in to it rather than just using cocoa powder.
