Hot chocolate ingredients

After you've chosen your vegan hot chocolate flakes, you'll just need some milk - any plant based milk will work and all add slightly different flavours to your drink. Some of our favourites, and what we use in our stores, are:

- Oat milk
- Hazelnut milk
- Coconut milk
- Almond milk
- Soya milk

You'll also need a saucepan if making on the hob, and our hot chocolate bowl or your favourite, cosiest mug to sip from.

Recipe

On the hob

Ingredients + equipment (makes 1 medium cup): 

- Your choice of vegan hot chocolate flakes
- 200ml of plant based milk
- A saucepan
- A mini whisk (optional)

Instructions:

Heat 200ml (about one large mug) of milk in a saucepan on the hob. Make sure it doesn’t boil as this will affect the taste.
