Herbal hot cocoa now comes with benefits.
Looking for a new way to enjoy your favorite herbs?
Or are your kids or partner turning up their noses at teas and tinctures so you’re looking to get creative? (Or maybe you’re struggling with the taste of an herb and hoping to bring it into your life regardless?)
You might just want more chocolate so why not make it herbal? (I feel you.)
Medicinal hot cocoa turns your favorite winter-treat into a health-supporting drink you’ll be sipping all year. (Not that we really need an excuse, am I right?)
Elegant but simple, these cocoas are for everyone
We’ve all seen the fancy photo spreads of artisan hot cocoas artistically overflowing their seasonally-appropriate mugs (see above), creating the illusion that they’re some kind of elevated style. But herbal hot cocoa is actually easy!
Whether you’re new to herbalism or you’ve been doing this for years, these recipes are magic—but a simple, no-fuss magic. If you can boil water, you can do this!
Four recipes, four benefits
Herbal hot cocoa is one of my favorite fun ways to work with herbs, because of course these cocoas don’t just taste delicious–each recipe was blended to give a unique form of support.
Just like different situations call for different teas, the four cocoas are suited for different moments in our lives. Times when we could use a little something extra in our self-care, whether in the depths of winter or not.
But why add herbs to hot cocoa?
Why not just drink tea if you want to work with herbs?
Sometimes we just want a treat! When tea is an everyday staple, convincing your mind that this tea is Special and “look at how kind we’re being to ourselves” can take just that smidge more energy we don’t have.
But cocoa, medicinal cocoa—now we have a treat for the body and the spirit.
And not everyone likes herbal teas (shocking, right?) Not everyone jumps up to try a new herbal remedy. (Raise your hand if you’ve suggested a tea or tincture to your partner and gotten an “Uhhh, maybe later.”)
But ask if they want to try some homemade cocoa? And suddenly it’s a different story. Chocolate doing its irresistible best, hands down the easiest way for my partner to work with herbs.
The recipes you’ll learn are only the beginning.
Consider the four recipes in this ebook your starting point for medicinal hot cocoa.
Through learning the individual recipes—and the 15 different herbs that go in them—you’ll learn the method for making rich, smooth herbal cocoas. No messy powders or gritty dregs at the bottom of your mug.
Once you know the cocoa way, you’ll have the know-how to transform your favorite herbal teas into even more cocoas later.
Introducing…
Herbal Hot Cocoa: Delicious Remedies for Health and Spirit
The ebook you’re about to download is designed to open the doors to a new method of herbal preparation, one that’ll turn heads and help the medicine go down with the delicious taste of cocoa.
Short enough to read in a single sitting, it’s densely packed with everything you need to know about the herbs involved and how to turn them into wonderful, supportive medicinal cocoas.
The ebook has five main sections:
Key Herbs covers the foundational herbs—like cacao!—and others that appear in most if not all of the recipes. We’ll go over why cacao used to be served to people recovering from illnesses in Victorian hospitals(!) and what that has to do with your hot cocoa, as well as the other key herbs that you’ll see appear again and again in our recipes.
Then we start getting into the herbs found in the individual cocoas.
Adaptogenic cocoa is an earthy blend that helps us handle stress better—who doesn’t need that kind of support these days?—with herbs like ashwagandha. (Don’t worry, you’ll also learn about which herbs to swap in if the tomato family is a no-go for you.)
Sensual cocoa is warm, floral blend that encourages self-love and letting go, getting our blood pumping with some gentle, healing stimulation all the way to your fingers and toes.
Antispasmodic Chai cocoa is a spicy blend that coaxes your tired, tense muscles to relax, heating you from the inside out. Ginger plays a part here, but so does the Russian kalinka tree, which you might already know by a different name…
Heart-felt cocoa rounds out our four recipes, a rosy blend that offers us comfort and protection both physical and emotional. Here we’ll get to know a few beautiful if thorny friends.
We’ll go over 15 herbs in total, including relevant contraindications (the technical term for why you might not want to work with an herb, whether that’s a pharmaceutical-herb interaction or a possible food allergy.)
The Herbal Hot Cocoa ebook also comes with two bonuses: a set of recipe pages and a set of recipe cards. Whether you’re a ‘read it on your phone’ or ‘print it out’ kind of person, these recipe sets will make it easier in the kitchen.
Add this easy and delicious preparation method to your herbal repertoire
These fun, delicious cocoas will have kids and partners asking for seconds and your friends asking for recipes. Doesn’t that always feel good?
But rather just bundle the recipes and offer those, the herbal knowledge you’ll learn through the cocoas will carry you beyond the cocoas themselves.
Knowing why an herb was chosen for a recipe and what it brings to that cocoa makes it easy for you to work with that herb in other preparations. And the information on contraindications empowers you to make informed choices about working with the herbs and what you might want to keep in mind.
Plus, these recipes are adaptable. Don’t drink dairy? No problem—these cocoas were tested with nut milks and are 1-to-1 adaptable to other milks. Don’t want a lot of sugar? Simple—everything calls for only as much of your favorite sweetener as you want, and even without sweeteners, they’re still delicious!

Questions & Answers
If I’ve taken the in-person class before, should I get this?
Maybe—if you want a refresher or you’re the kind of person who wants all of the pieces written down in the same place, yes! If you remember the majority of the class and/or haven’t lost your notes, then you’re probably set without it.
Some herbal recipes I’ve seen are complicated. When you say easy, how easy do you actually mean?
I mean each recipe has between four and five steps with effectively no ingredient preparation beyond having the ingredients, and the majority of the cooking time is spent ignoring it. That’s how easy we’re talking.
Can’t I just google herbal cocoa recipes?
You can, there are some out there. But if you want multiple recipes for various benefits all in one place, with full info about the herbs involved, then this ebook will be faster and more complete than trying to hunt down all that on the internet.
Are the recipes expensive to make?
Nope! The last time I taught this class and made all the cocoas at once, I spend $4.09 per serving, and that was with organic herbs and top-shelf nut milk. That’s less than a drink from Starbucks, and I had ingredients left over.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes—two weeks, no questions asked.
