High-Iron Hot Chocolate
There is something so nostalgic about sipping hot chocolate with the family during the winter season. Here are some more reasons to love this holiday favourite:⠀⠀
➡️ Did you know cacao is a superfood? It has antioxidants, magnesium, and yes even iron. ⠀
➡️ Now, you can sneak in even more iron without affecting the taste when you make it with Lucky Iron Water instead of regular water. ⠀
⠀
⠀
So, let's make HIGH IRON HOT CHOCOLATE that kids and grownups will thoroughly enjoy! ⠀
⠀
- 1 Lucky Iron Leaf or Fish⠀
- 2 drops of lime or lemon juice (it helps the Leaf/ Fish release iron, don't worry you won't actually taste it!)⠀
- 4 cups water (or full fat coconut milk for richer texture)⠀
- 4 tsp raw cacao powder⠀
- 4 tsp maple syrup⠀
- Dash of cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick⠀
⠀
1️⃣ Just bring the liquid to a boil. Then add the cinnamon, citrus juice and the #LuckyIronFish or Leaf and continue boiling for 10 minutes. ⠀
⠀
2️⃣ Remove the Leaf/ Fish. Lower heat so the liquid is only simmering now. ⠀
⠀
3️⃣ Add the cacao powder and maple syrup and whisk till fully combined. ⠀
⠀
5️⃣ Serve the delicious, nutritious cup of hot chocolate as is or with your favourite toppings and sprinkles!⠀
