Behind the Bar with Chado: Peppermint Bark Winter Hot Chocolate
There is nothing quite like a cozy winter drink to ease into the quieter days of the new year. Our Peppermint Bark Winter Hot Chocolate is a simple yet indulgent twist on a classic, made extra special with our signature Peppermint Bark Tea. This Chado exclusive blend combines together peppermint, green rooibos, and chocolate, creating a soothing herbal treat perfectly suited for the winter months.
By steeping the tea directly in warm milk, this recipe creates a creamy, mint forward base with subtle notes of green rooibos and chocolate. Melted white chocolate adds richness, while vanilla and a splash of peppermint schnapps bring everything together with a smooth, warming finish.
Served warm and topped with mini marshmallows, this drink is perfect for slow evenings, after dinner sipping, or moments of calm during the winter months. It is cozy, refined, and just indulgent enough to feel like a small luxury.
