Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Cozy up with a warm mug-full of hot chocolate! The peppermint twist is festive and soothing, especially when sipped on by the crackling fire… I could drink this every day. Make it in minutes, top as you please, then sit back, relax, and drink it down!
Ingredients:
1 cup + 1/4 cup unsweetened milk of your choice
2 tbsp cacao powder
1/2 -1 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/2 tsp pink salt
Optional Toppings:
coconut whip
crushed candy canes
(mini) marshmallows
shaved dark chocolate
Directions:
Grab two saucepans, one small and one medium-sized. Add the 1/4 cup milk to the smaller pan and the remaining 1 cup to the larger one, and bring both to a light boil.
Whisk the cacao powder, coconut sugar, two extracts, and pink salt into the smaller pan. Remove from the heat, stir once more well, then add this mixture to the larger pan. Stir well again here.
To make this frothy, either insert a hand frother directly into the pan, or add the mixture to a blender and blend for about 15 seconds.
Pour into your favorite mug, top as you please, then enjoy!
