Spiced Hot Chocolate

Sweet spices, a little heat, and a splash of sweetener all bound in creamy almond milk.

Ingredients

• 40-50 g Creation Cacao
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• a pinch nutmeg
• a pinch allspice
• a pinch clove
• a knifepoint of cayenne powder
• a pinch salt
• 2 cups almond milk (homemade is delicious)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (raw honey is very good, too)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Mix dry ingredients, cacao, spices, and salt, in a small bowl.

Heat wet ingredients, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract, in a small pot over medium heat ensuring it doesn’t reach boiling point.

Add dry ingredients to almond milk and whisk until completely blended. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes to allow the cacao and spices to infuse together.

Take pot off the heat, and pour into two mugs (or maybe just one big one.)
