It is starting to get cold outside. And, quite obviously, in these windy, cool, snow-filled winter months there is nothing like warm drinks.
Warm tea and cocoa seem to be the perfect thing to warm up.

And that is why I want to show you how to save your money, and the excess ingredients, and make your own hot chocolate.
I present to you a Starbucks-like vegan hot chocolate.
I use carob because it is very nutritious and caffeine-free, but you can easily substitute out the carob for cocoa. It works one-to-one.
Here is to your warmth!
