Mexican-Style Turmeric Hot Cocoa

by Leah Wise Leave a Comment

This play on the spicy-sweet flavor of Mexican hot chocolate uses Numi’s delicious and nutritious organic, Fair Trade Certified Turmeric Cocoa for added richness and health benefits.

This easy Mexican-style Turmeric Hot Cocoa combines the spicy-sweet flavor of Mexican hot chocolate with turmeric and spices for a delicious treat!

Traditionally, Mexican chocolate is flavored with native spices to mellow the natural bitterness of cacao. Early American colonists made a similarly spiced beverage, mixing finely grated cacao with water for a delicious, Turmeric Hot Cocoa afternoon pick-me-up. (You can still sample an early American chocolate recipe at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia!)

Enjoy on a chilly afternoon or make it as a non-traditional dessert!

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
