Matcha Hot Cocoa

Everyone loves hot cocoa in the winter. Literally, everyone. Perfect for yourself or to serve your whole family, you will love this Matcha Cocoa recipe. As we’ve discovered with our best-selling Matcha Chocolate, matcha and cocoa go very well together. So this season, ditch the pre-packaged hot cocoa confectionary powder (you know exactly what we’re talking about) and instead, grab your Nekohama Matcha, some almond milk and cocoa powder, and you’ve got yourself a healthy, satisfying twist on hot cocoa.
