Maya Hot Chocolate Recipe

Maya Hot Chocolate Recipe:

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup organic goat or cow milk (Almond or oat milk is a great substitute for vegans)
• 2 tbsp. raw cacao powder
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. ground chili pepper
• 1-2 tbsp. honey
• (Makes 1 serving)

PREPARATION

1. In a small mixing bowl, stir together cacao and spices.
2. Adding a small amount of the milk, whisk into a paste.
3. In a saucepan, heat remaining milk slowly over medium heat, making sure to remove just before boiling.
4. Slowly add the paste to the saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened.
5. Pour into a mug and add honey to desired sweetness.
6. Enjoy!

We make this soul-warming treat in my house all the time, and it's great for the winter months. Be careful though -- that raw cacao powder is powerful stuff. Don't prepare this energizing beverage if you're hoping to go to sleep in an hour!
