    The organic hot chocolate that comes in the dark brown cylinder with gold print. No idea what it's called - sorry.

    Hot milk & honey works a treat. My kids love it when they can't sleep and it works wonders. It's been proven too.

    Coles. I just checked the online shop and it's called abundant earth.

    Jaspers sells a fairtrade one and you can buy it online from them.

    Are you looking for alternative hot chocolates? or alternatives TO hot chocolate?
    In terms of non-coffee, non-caffeine, I have found that red (rooibos?) tea is great
    you could also try hot milk with vanilla essence. There is also malt, or white hot choc, thats super tasty
    Or for a low fat option, hot water with lemon and honey never fails!

    I think they have changed the milo Marydean. I seem to get super buzzed off it too although I rarely have sugar in my diet so could be a sensitivity? Just noticed it in the last tin though.

    I drink the organic ceylon chai tea in a green box. Natures something? I add a teaspoon of honey and about 1/4 of the mug is milk. I use the woolies honey that has the toffee sort of flavour (name eludes me) and it's super yum!
