Recipe Alert: Minted Cacao Elixir

A simple, functional recipe featuring our organic peppermint tea and made in just 5 minutes.

If you like the flavor of a peppermint patty, this is an easy way to recreate it in a warm, drinkable form, while actually doing something good for your body.

This recipe uses our organic, fair trade loose leaf peppermint tea, which gives it that clean, refreshing mint flavor without anything artificial. It’s smooth, naturally sweetened, and balanced with a little salt to bring everything together.

 


 

Why peppermint tea works so well here

Peppermint tea isn’t just for flavor, it has real benefits that make this drink feel noticeably better than a typical hot chocolate.

It’s commonly used to:

  • Support digestion and reduce bloating

  • Help relax the body and ease tension

  • Soothe the stomach after meals

  • Provide a light, refreshing lift without caffeine

The rest of the ingredients

Cacao powder adds depth and richness, along with magnesium and antioxidants.
Raw honey balances the bitterness and adds a natural sweetness.
Celtic salt enhances the chocolate flavor and adds trace minerals and electrolytes.
Milk or cream (optional) gives it a smoother, more creamy drink.

 


 

How to make it

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat your water until hot, but not boiling.

  2. Steep the peppermint tea for 5 minutes.

  3. Pour the tea into a mug.

  4. Add the cacao powder and mix well (a frother works best for a smooth consistency).

  5. Stir in the honey and a pinch of salt.

  6. Add a splash of milk or cream if you want it a bit richer.

 


 

When to drink it

This works well after a meal, at night, or anytime you want something warm without caffeine. It’s especially good if you’re looking for something that feels like a treat but sits well in your stomach.

If you’re going to try it, start with the tea, the quality of the peppermint really does make the difference.
