Rose Hot Chocolate

Jump to Recipe

Rose and chocolate is one of my favorite unexpected flavor combinations. This comforting, dreamy, romantic Rose Hot Chocolate has become my go-to pick-me-up when I’m feeling down (it’s wonderful for counteracting the winter blues!). 

Rose is often used in herbalism for its antidepressant and sedative properties. It’s comforting and uplifting at the same time. Cacao is also known for its mood-boosting and energizing properties.

Together, this magical duo works to comfort and uplift, all while tasting AMAZING. If you don’t have cacao powder at home, no worries—pure cocoa powder will work just fine, too!

Aside from its delicious, comforting flavor, this recipe is also SO easy to make. Simply combine all ingredients in a saucepan over low heat, whisking continuously to froth, then pour and enjoy!!
