Easy lavender hot chocolate recipe

The recipe actually is a two-in-one deal: first, we’ll prepare a hot chocolate mix with dry milk powder, white chocolate, lavender essential oil and a little cornflour (cornstarch).

You can pack the hot chocolate mix in decorative jars, slap a pretty label on and ready is a yummy gift for lovers of all things sweet and lavender. Secondly, to prepare a cup of hot chocolate, simply add a few tablespoons of the mix to milk or water and bring to boil.

I found that milk creates a slightly creamier texture, while hot chocolate made with water will make a lighter drink.

What lavender essential oil to use?

This recipe is prepared with a food-grade lavender oil from LorAnn, which creates a rich, authentic lavender flavor. LorAnn’s Natural Lavender Oil is a good, food-grade botanical oil. I found that 10 to 12 drops of lavender oil create a nice lavender aroma, but the intensity may vary depending on what oil you use.

Lavender Hot Chocolate Recipe

Yield: 400 g mix
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes
Freezing Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 43 minutes

White lavender hot chocolate puts a delicious twist on the classic and is a wonderful hot drink recipe for all seasons of the year! This white hot chocolate is the perfect autumn drink recipe to make cool autumn night cozier and a lovely treat throughout the holiday season. If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, omit the white chocolate and use 225 g (8 oz) semisweet chocolate instead.

Ingredients

For the lavender hot chocolate mix

  • 200 g (2 cups) dry whole milk powder
  • 3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 225 g (8 oz) white chocolate, chopped
  • 10 – 12 drops food-grade lavender oil (see tips above)
  • glass jars with lids or airtight containers

For 1 cup hot chocolate

  • 250 ml (1 cup) milk or water
  • 2 – 3 heaped tbsp hot chocolate mix
  • whipped cream or mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate. Put the white chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave set to low in 30-second intervals. Stir the chocolate in-between each interval until fully melted. Then add a few drops of food-grade lavender oil and pour the chocolate on a lined baking tray (sheet). Spread out into a thin layer with an offset spatula and freeze until solid, for about 20 minutes.
    Tip: Freezing the chocolate helps to grind it without melting in the blender later.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients. Sift the milk powder and cornflour into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Transfer 3 tablespoon of this mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the frozen chocolate and grind until pulverized. Lastly, combine the milk powder with the ground chocolate and fill into sealable jars or containers to store.
  3. Cook the hot chocolate mix. To prepare the hot chocolate, pour a cup of milk or water into a small saucepan, add 2 to 3 heaped tablespoons hot chocolate mix and bring to boil while stirring constantly.
