When the weather turns cold and the days get shorter, there's nothing quite like wrapping your hands around a warm mug. This Bone Broth Hot Chocolate brings together the comfort of classic hot cocoa with the nourishing benefits of our pasture-raised chicken bone broth. It's rich, velvety, lightly sweet, and packed with minerals and collagen your body craves during the winter months.

Whether you're winding down from a long day, enjoying a quiet moment alone, or looking for a healthier, more nourishing alternative to traditional hot chocolate, this mug is pure comfort — and so easy to make.

Why Bone Broth Works in Hot Chocolate

Bone broth's natural richness blends beautifully with cocoa, creating a silky, savory-sweet drink that feels decadent while actually supporting your digestion, immunity, joints, and overall well-being. Using broth from our pasture-raised chickens means deeper flavor, clean ingredients, and the nutrient density only regenerative farming can provide.

Ingredients

• — ⅔ cup chicken bone broth (from The Ridge — ready-made or homemade using our broth packs)
• — 1 ½ cups milk of your choice (our raw milk is incredible here)
• — 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• — 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• — ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• — Dash of cinnamon
• — Optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings

Instructions

1. Warm the broth: In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the bone broth to a gentle steam.
2. Whisk to perfection: Add milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk until creamy and smooth.
3. Make it frothy: Pour into two mugs. Use a milk frother for extra warmth and café-style foam.
4. Top and enjoy: Add whipped cream or marshmallows — or sip it plain for pure, cozy nourishment.
