Ingredients
The following ingredients have 2 Servings
- 2 cups milk ((I used unsweetened vanilla almond; coconut or cow's would work well, too))
- 1 cup water
- Sweetener to taste ((I used 1 packet non-bitter stevia, but agave, raw sugar, honey, etc. would work fine, too))
- 1/4-1/2 tsp ground or fresh grated ginger ((depending on preference))
- 1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2-3 ginger candies ((optional))
Instruction
- Heat the milk and water in a medium saucepan. Once it comes to a simmer, reduce heat slightly and whisk in cocoa powder, sea salt and ginger. Whisk vigorously to incorporate.
- Once the cocoa is hot enough for your liking (about 3-5 minutes), remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Stir once more.
- Take your ginger candies and rub them along the rims of your serving glasses or mugs. Eat or discard; they get mushy when added to the beverage.
- Pour in hot cocoa and top with coconut cream, whipped cream or marshmallows - whatever you like.
