Here are two reasons we’re hemp over heels for this spin on classic hot chocolate. First, the dry mix can be made ahead (or even doubled), which makes whipping up a drink extra easy. Second, each mug contains a few drops of hemp extract oil, a phytocannabinoid recognized for its wellness properties. The minty fresh flavor is an added bonus, as is the optional dollop of coconut whipped cream.
