1. Matcha hot chocolate    

From strawberry to creamy chocolate – it’s inevitable that matcha will pop up on your ‘For You Page’ on TikTok. 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!

Who can forget the famous Dalgona coffee that went viral circa 2020? This trend quickly became a staple in our kitchen – and for good reason. And all you need is water, sugar and instant coffee. Whisk it together until it turns into a fluffy cloud. Add ice and milk to enjoy this yummy, sweetened caffeine treat.

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.
