Ingredients
Scale
¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups of almond milk
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
½ teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Using a whisk, stir well to ensure all the cocoa is smoothly incorporated with the milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently while bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Make sure to keep the mixture from boiling, as this can alter the creamy texture of your hot chocolate.
If you're using cinnamon or other spices, add them at this point. Stir until the spices are fully mixed in and the hot chocolate is steaming.
Before serving, taste your hot chocolate and adjust sweetness or flavor according to your preference.
Once you're satisfied with the taste, pour your hot chocolate into your favorite mug and add toppings if desired.
