Truth is, the end result is a rich, thick blanket of goodness… each sip is almost like dreaming underneath a giant bar of ooey-gooey warm chocolate. This is the kind of drink you want after a chilly walk or sledding. After a breakup. Or an engagement. It’s the exact right statement for any sentiment, in fact.
A giant mug of Cocoa Tea would be great covered with whipped cream, marshmallows and all those other goodies… but in Saint Lucia, it’s simply topped with a sprinkling of fresh grated nutmeg. Delicious simplicity.
