Frozen Mint Hot Chocolate Recipe

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.
