Mama's Mexican Hot Chocolate (Vegan)

You'll find that some online recipe creators use either dulce de leche or cajeta (both Mexican caramels) to add a sweet touch to their Mexican hot chocolates. Instead of using those, Mama has opted to use Mama's Masalas Hot Mess [Hot Beverage Enhancer]. You'll find hints of Rosa Damascena (Damask rose), Ceylon cinnamon, Super Negin Saffron, and other royal herbs & spices in her famously spicy hot chocolate! 

Mama guarantees that her Hot Mess [Hot Beverage Enhancer] is 100% vegan and organic.
