Serves 4
This minty hot chocolate is the perfect winter warm up. Make a large batch to share with everyone on a cold winter day.
Ingredients
- 6 cups milk (almond, dairy, rice, or coconut)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup; pure, medium grade
- 2 tsp Peppermint extract, pure
- 1/2 cup cacao powder, raw
Instructions
- Combine milk and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat to gently warm (do NOT boil, as it will be too hot to drink).
- Once warm, add cacao powder and extract, then whisk to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Variation: Upgrade this to a post exercise energy drink, by adding 1-2 servings of an organic, all natural protein supplement. Just whisk in at the end of heating, and pack in a thermos to enjoy after sporting events and winter outings!
