- 2 cups (480 mL) unsweetened soy milk*
- 1 cup (240 mL) very strong brewed coffee, or an Americano (espresso + water)**
- 1/2 cup (80g) shelled hemp seeds (also known as hemp hearts)
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
- Heaping 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, (plus more to taste)
- A couple pinches of ground ginger***
- 2 -3 teaspoons pure maple syrup, (plus more to taste)
Steps
Add the soy milk, coffee, hemp seeds, cacao powder, coconut oil, cinnamon, ginger, and maple syrup to a small or medium saucepan. Whisk well to combine and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer for 5 minutes, then pour the mixture into a blender.1. NOTE: if you don’t have a high-powered blender, I recommend simmering this mixture a bit longer (10-15 minutes) so the hemp seeds have a chance to soften.
Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to medium or high speed. Blend until frothy and the hemp seeds have been fully blended up.
Pour coffee into a mug and dust with additional cinnamon, if desired.
