Thanking you in advance. I used raw honey as my sweetener.

Makes good hot cocoa. Grew up with this, maybe not refined like this, my mother used to dissolve ( I think it was a teaspoon, and I am sure she used sugar to sweeten it ) in some boiling water, then heated enough milk to make a cupful, my sister and I loved it.
I don't really use hershey's a lot unless I've got a migraine. That's the only thing that kicks it. I focus more on healthy items by setting the diet a specific way and have particular vitamins that I had setup with the cardiologist at the time. As of 2025 when I began Jardiance a particular vitamin supplement was requested for addition with this medication. In addition to having what was mentioned above, I was also asked to increase hydration to a specific amount per day. I have actually been working with a particular smart phone app that helps me track hydration intake throughout the day whether it is water, tea, or morning coffee.
