Iced Chocolate with Mint: Refresh Your Summer

We’re experiencing a summer of record-breaking temperatures. It’s time to take care of yourselves, stay cool, and always stay hydrated. Here at Let’s Chocolaat, we’d like to suggest a cold version made with our ready-to-prepare drinking chocolate: cold chocolate with mint.

The key lies in the contrast: the richness of the chocolate blends with the aromatic freshness of the mint, creating a drink that works just as well as an afternoon snack, a dessert, or a frozen treat at any time of day.

Below are two recipes—one more traditional and the other for slushie lovers:

Classic Recipe

• A few hours beforehand, put the 1-liter carton of Chocolate a la Taza in your refrigerator so it's ready to serve.
• Pour the desired amount of chocolate into a cup. Add the chopped fresh mint or a few drops of mint extract. Then stir to blend the two flavors.
• Optional: You can garnish the cold chocolate with mint leaves.

Slushie Recipe

You can take it a step further and make the slushie as follows:

• Divide the chocolate from the Let’s Chocolaat carton into an ice cube tray (for example, the kind typically used for ice cubes).
• Freeze it in your refrigerator.
• In a bowl, place the chocolate chips and mix them with the chopped mint or the drops of mint flavoring.
• Blend the mixture until it reaches a slush-like consistency.
