The Christmas spirit can be created not only with cookies, but also with hot, spicy drinks. The gingerbread-like cocoa is made from organic, unsweetened cocoa powder, and its spices – cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg – provide a natural aroma. This healthy, vegan hot drink is quick to make and perfect for the holidays.
