The naturally sweet and nutty flavour of matcha adds another layer of depth to your usual hot chocolate experience. Did you know that matcha aids digestion and contains many antioxidants? So, there’s no need to feel all too guilty about gulping down your new favourite hot drink!

3. Bone broth hot chocolate
Bone broth in your hot chocolate? Yes, that’s right! Bone broth hot chocolate may be a more unorthodox way of making your delicious chocolatey drink. This trend started floating around on TikTok with mixed reviews on the popular social media app. But what is the reason for this bone broth twist? Some say it is more nutritious than its more traditional (and downright delicious) alternative. And some reviews even say you cannot even taste the bone broth. You’ll have to decide for yourself.
