  2. Warm water or milk slightly
  3. Whisk in cocoa powder until smooth
  4. Add mint leaves and honey if using
  5. Let steep for 5 minutes
  6. Strain out mint leaves (or leave them in for stronger flavor)

How to use

Drop into hot milk for mint hot chocolate. Add to coffee for a mocha mint latte. Melt into cold milk for a refreshing chocolate mint drink.

Why this works

Mint and chocolate is a classic combination. Fresh mint is brighter than extract. Cocoa powder adds richness without being too sweet.

Practical tip: If you don't have fresh mint, use 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract instead. It's stronger, so start with less.
