Almond milk is lower in calories, while water is a cost-effective alternative.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness, while brown sugar is often cheaper.

vanilla

Gather all ingredients for cocoa tea and bakes.

Prep the ingredients by measuring out the cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, salt, butter, flour, and corn starch.

Combine yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, corn starch, and salt in a bowl.

Add a tablespoon of butter to the mixture.

Mix all the dry ingredients together and then add the flour.

Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes.

Grate cocoa until you have 0.5 cup.

Boil water in a pot.

Add the grated cocoa to the boiling water and let it boil for about 10 minutes.

Strain the cocoa tea into another pot.

Taste the cocoa tea to check if it needs any adjustments; husband approves the flavor.
