I’ve been dreaming of green tea white hot chocolate.

t

t

t Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been working to create different gourmet flavors of hot chocolate. We’re all familiar with the classic hot chocolate, peppermint hot chocolate and sea salt caramel hot chocolate. All of which are often seen at Starbucks during the winter holidays. So, I thought I’d take the idea of flavored hot chocolate and create my own line of hot chocolates. Cocoa no longer has to be a seasonal thing!

t But then again, what could be better than different flavors of hot chocolate to keep us warm through the frigid winter cold?

t

t Today, I wanted to share green tea white hot chocolate. Just imagine the sweet creaminess of white chocolate melted in a combination of milk and half-and-half. Flavored with the fragrance of green tea, then topped with whipped cream and a pinch of green tea powder, this hot chocolate will become an instant favorite.

t It’s super easy to make too with just a few ingredients.

t I hope you’ll enjoy this hot chocolate as much as I do.
