Description
Time for all the warm drinks: can I offer you a Peppermint Mocha, London Fog Tea Latte, or a Salted Cashew Hot Chocolate? All drinks are refined sugar-free, and easily made dairy-free + vegan by using your favorite dairy-free milk!
Ingredients
Scale
For the Peppermint Mocha
- 12 ounces brewed Mushroom Ground Coffee
- 4 ounces dairy-free milk of choice
- 1 ounce Crunchy Mint Dark Chocolate
- ¼ teaspoon Peppermint Flavor
- Maple Syrup, to taste
For the London Fog Tea Latte
- 8 oz. dairy-free milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon Tao of Tea Organic Earl Grey Tea, brewed in 1 cup of hot water. Add more depending on how strong you like your tea – you want it dark and strong for this recipe since it will be diluted with milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Maple Syrup, to taste, I like about 1 tablespoon
For the Salted Cashew Hot Chocolate
- 16 ounces dairy-free milk of choice
- 1.5 ounces Hu Kitchen Salty Dark Chocolate OR 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup and 3 tablespoons Cacao Powder
- 1 tablespoon Cashew Butter
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
For the Peppermint Mocha
- Brew your coffee to your desired strength. Pour into the mug.
- Heat milk in a milk frother or the microwave. Add the chocolate, peppermint, and maple syrup, and either blend in a blender or combine in the milk frother until completely blended and frothy.
- Pour into your mug, garnish with dairy-free whipped cream and/or a candy cane for a festive twist, and serve immediately.
For the London Fog Tea Latte
- Brew tea to your desired strength. You want it rather dark and strong since you’ll be diluting the tea with dairy-free milk. Fill half your mug with the tea.
- Heat milk in a milk frother or the microwave. Add the vanilla extract and maple syrup, and either blend in a blender or combine in the milk frother until completely blended and frothy.
- Pour over the tea and garnish as desired! I kept it simple with a bit of dairy-free whipped cream.
For the Salted Cashew Hot Chocolate
- Heat milk in a milk frother or the microwave. Add the chocolate (or maple syrup and cacao powder), cashew butter, and sea salt, and either blend in a blender or combine in the milk frother until completely blended and frothy.
- Pour into your mug and serve immediately. Garnish with dairy-free whipped cream, marshmallows, or any other garnishes you’d like!
Notes
You can use any kind of sweetener you like for these drinks, but I love the maple syrup for it’s warm, delicious flavor! Honey or any kind of granulated sugars will also work.
