Spiced Chai Hot Chocolate
Melt dark chocolate into a strong rooibos chai brew before the milk: chocolate and warm spice together. Caffeine free and creamy.
A spiced chai hot chocolate melts good dark chocolate into a strong Rooibos chai brew before the milk goes in, so every mouthful tastes of chocolate and warm spice at once. It's caffeine free, since the bag is rooibos, and ready in under ten minutes.
