Mint Chocolate Latte Recipe
I have been making my own version of a chocolate mint tea for a few years now. It is delicious, very low carb (keto) friendly, and the mint is good for digestion.
To make this tasty and festive "latte" beverage, first brew a nice strong peppermint tea. I use looseleaf tea with a ratio of about 1/2 to 3/4 cup dried loose mint in a one quart mason jar, which I fill with boiling water.
After steeping for about 10 minutes, strain the tea and add about 2 T of cocoa powder and a sweetener. For ultra low carb I use Stevia powder (about three mini packets), for a paleo friendly but slightly richer flavor use maple syrup to sweeten to taste.
I then add a generous amount of raw milk and some whipped cream.
I can't get enough of this stuff and it is a guilt-free treat around Yule time! (or any other time of year, really)
