Hot Cocoa: Picante Cocoa

The flavor of our Zesty Cocoa Mix is a spicy and sweet blend of ayurvedic herbs. The combination of heat from the spicy chili powder, and sweet and bitter flavors of the chocolate with the rich middle note of the cinnamon make this drink mix make a unique recipe that you want to drink regularly. Little known fact: Spiciness is actually good for you! Chili peppers can reduce the damaging effects of LDL (bad cholesterol), and it can help with weight loss. Studies show that the main compound in chilies, called capsaicin, may cause the body to burn bonus calories for 20 minutes post eating! It has a long finish and the spice will linger lightly in your throat for a few minutes, if you can wait that long before reaching for more. Our Zesty Hot Cocoa mix is bold and warming. Treat yourself to a decadent chocolate drink with just enough kick to keep you warm through the winter months. Simply add two tablespoons to a little warm water or milk and mix well, or top with cold water or milk and drink!
