A homemade hot chocolate with a sweet minty flavor

Yield: 

4 cups

Ingredients: 

4 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa (unsweetened)
4 starlight mints (remove wrappers, of course)

Instructions: 

1. Combine sugar and cocoa in a 2-quart saucepan. Whisk in milk and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until warm.

2. Add the four starlight mints and continue heating and stirring until hot chocolate is hot (but not boiling!) and mints are melted.

To make one serving of mint hot cocoa:

Combine 1 tablespoon of sugar and one tablespoon of baking cocoa in a mug. Stir. Add about 2 tablespoons milk, stirring to remove any lumps. Add remaining milk and stir. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes until milk is hot (but not boiling). Add one starlight mint and stir until dissolved.

15 minutes

Tammy's Review: 

This is a delightful twist on ordinary hot chocolate! The mints add sweetness and coolness, and this makes the perfect hot cocoa for mint-chocolate lovers! This is my husband's favorite way to have hot cocoa! My rating: 10/10

Another option

Another easy and quick way to make a cup of mint hot chocolate is by dipping (and letting soak for a while) a mint tea bag in your mug of hot chocolate... yummy!!
