Read MoreThis is a perfect chilly weather drink and works well for entertaining. The fruit has a delicious jam-like quality and can be served for dessert.

Read MoreThis is an unconventional way to infuse tea, but it works! Simply pour the hot chocolate mixture over the tea bags into a mug and use a milk frother to add foam to the hot chocolate mixture. If you don’t have one, a blender will also work, but be mindful of the hot milk and be careful not to burn yourself. Note: Cacao powder has a richer flavor than cocoa powder, but either will work in this recipe. Add as little or as much sweetness with the maple syrup as you like.

Read MoreMaking chocolates is a meditative process for me.
