Sick of waiting for spring? Relax by the fire and indulge a little with this tasty red wine hot cocoa recipe packed with antioxidants and immune-boosting ingredients…

Eating healthy is important for good health, but sometimes it’s okay to splurge a little – especially when your so-called “splurge” is packed with antioxidants and healthy fats. Red wine and chocolate? Yes, please! 🙂

This warm and comforting adult-approved beverage is perfect for a cold late-winter evening, and it will give you a little boost of happiness along with the antioxidants and other immune-boosting ingredients! (Please consume responsibly.)

Feel free to substitute coconut milk for the almond milk for a richer flavor, or for a non-vegan version, you can also make this recipe with regular whole milk. And for an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper!

The red wine hot cocoa recipe below contains cacao powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and a special secret ingredient that offers powerful immune support…
