Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 ½ Tablespoons raw cacao powder

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¼ cup coconut milk
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine the almond milk, cacao and syrup and heat over medium heat.
- As you warm the milk, whisk the cacao until no lumps remain. You want the milk to heat but NOT boil! Once it has warmed up, mix in the coconut milk, peppermint and vanilla.
- It's important to whisk really well to remove any chunks from the coconut milk.
- Continue heating for a few more minutes until it is blended and creamy.
- Remove from heat and serve in your favorite mugs.
