Ingredients

2 servings
  • 2 cups milk ((I used unsweetened vanilla almond; coconut or cow's would work well, too))
  • 1 cup water
  • Sweetener to taste ((I used 1 packet non-bitter stevia, but agave, raw sugar, honey, etc. would work fine, too))
  • 1/4 -1/2 tsp ground or fresh grated ginger ((depending on preference))
  • 1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 -3 ginger candies ((optional))

Steps

  1. Heat the milk and water in a medium saucepan. Once it comes to a simmer, reduce heat slightly and whisk in cocoa powder, sea salt and ginger. Whisk vigorously to incorporate.

  2. Once the cocoa is hot enough for your liking (about 3-5 minutes), remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Stir once more.

  3. Take your ginger candies and rub them along the rims of your serving glasses or mugs. Eat or discard; they get mushy when added to the beverage.

  4. Pour in hot cocoa and top with coconut cream, whipped cream or marshmallows - whatever you like.
