Is this actually lactose-free?
Yes. The non-dairy creamer in this blend is made without dairy-based lactose, so it's a good option for people who are lactose intolerant. Note that it is manufactured in a facility that also processes milk, so it may not be suitable for those with a severe dairy allergy.
Why is it green?
The green apple flavor uses FD&C Yellow #5 and Blue #1, which combines to give the drink its distinctive green color. It's a fun surprise, especially for kids.
Can I make it with milk instead of water?
Yes. Use 2 tablespoons per 8 oz. of hot water or milk. Oat milk, almond milk, and regular dairy all work well and make the drink a little creamier.
Does this contain caffeine?
No. This is a hot cocoa mix with no tea or coffee ingredients, so it is completely caffeine-free.
How many servings are in the tin?
6 oz. tin makes 12 servings at 2 tablespoons each.
Is this a good gift?
It is one of our most gifted items. The unique flavor combination, the green color, and the reusable tin all make it memorable. People who receive it tend to order it for themselves afterward.
