Easy vegan peppermint hot chocolate recipe

With Christmas in full swing, we're indulging in a few bits here and there, like an early mince pie, or a hot cup of mulled wine. One thing that I absolutely adore during the holidays is a nice cuppa hot chocolate, even better when its vegan too.
Pairing perfectly with chocolate is peppermint, and a dynamic duo of Christmas as well. So I've mixed them together to bring you a truly scrumptious holiday treat, enjoy!
