Mint Hot Cocoa

Servings: 3-4

You’ll need:
3-4 cups fat free or low fat milk
2 mint tea bags
1/3 cup steaming hot water in a small cup (for steeping tea)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
Fat Free Cool Whip topping or miniature marshmallows (optional)

Place mint tea bags into cup of steaming hot water and set aside to steep.

In a medium size saucepan mix the sugar and cocoa powder. Add the steeped mint tea and stir, until completely dissolved. Set heat to medium-high and slowly add the milk, stirring continually, for about a 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium heat and stir mixture continually for about 4 minutes, until the cocoa is completely heated.

Remove from heat and serve immediately into 3-4 mugs. Top with (optional) Fat Free Cool Whip or mini marshmallows and enjoy!

​This is one of our family favorites and lately we have been experiencing much colder temperatures outside in our area, so I’ve prepared my home-made Mint Hot Cocoa several times already!
