Vanilla Chai Spice Hot Chocolate

Spoon three heaped teaspoons of Booja-Booja's Vanilla Chai Spice Hot Chocolate into a mug, pour over hot milk or a dairy-free alternative, and stir until the flakes melt through. It's built on organic cocoa and real spice rather than flavourings, so the chai character comes through properly in every cup.

Why You'll Love It

The mix pairs fat-reduced cocoa powder with pieces of dark chocolate, so it melts into a drink with real body rather than a thin dusting. Cinnamon, cardamom and ginger are ground through the blend rather than added as flavouring, and a touch of Madagascan vanilla extract and Cornish sea salt bring the sweetness into balance. It's free from dairy, gluten and soya as well as organic, so it works across a broad range of kitchens without losing any of its richness.

How to Use It

Use whichever milk you have to hand, dairy or plant-based, and give it a minute to let the chocolate flakes dissolve fully before stirring again. A pinch more cinnamon or a swirl of cream turns it into something a bit more indulgent for an evening in, and it sits well alongside ginger biscuits or a square of dark chocolate. Stirred into strong coffee, the spice mix also makes a decent spiced mocha on a cold afternoon.
