Mint Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Coconut whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat — do not boil.

  2. 2

    Whisk in cacao powder, maple syrup, peppermint extract, coconut oil, and sea salt until smooth and frothy.

  3. 3

    Pour into a mug and top with coconut whipped cream if desired.

Chef's Note

Start with ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract and adjust to taste — it's potent! Raw cacao is richer in magnesium than cocoa powder.
