Notes

The most powerful aspect of this recipe is that because the chocolate and cherry flavors are so dominant, you can add almost any bitter tasting herb, powder, or ingredient into this drink that you are working with and it won’t change the flavor. For someone just starting out with herbs, this is the perfect cold elixir recipe to start with.
