SIMPLE HOT COCOA FOR ONE



Simple Hot Cocoa for One image

As with hot chocolate, use any milky liquid you prefer, whether it's from a cow, nuts (almond milk), beans (soy milk), or grains (rice milk). For sweeteners, feel free to substitute maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar for sugar, but start with less, about 1 tablespoon, and taste the combination before adding more.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
Pinch of salt
1 cup milk or any combination of milk, half-and-half, or cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk together the cocoa, sugar, salt, and about 2 tablespoons milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until cocoa and sugar are dissolved. Whisk in the rest of the milk and heat it over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until it is hot. Stir in the vanilla and serve.
  • If you like it frothy, blend it in the blender.
  • This recipe multiplies easily. When you get up to a quart of milk, use 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Look for cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened."
  • Sweeten your hot cocoa to taste. You can use sugar, honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the cocoa.
  • Use whole almond milk for a richer flavor. You can also use low-fat or non-fat almond milk, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Heat the almond milk slowly over medium heat. Do not boil the almond milk, as this will cause it to curdle.
  • Whisk the cocoa powder into the heated almond milk until it is dissolved. You can also use a blender to mix the ingredients together.
  • Serve the hot cocoa immediately, topped with whipped cream, marshmallows, or your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

This hot cocoa recipe with almond milk is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover almond milk. With its rich and creamy flavor, this hot cocoa is sure to please everyone in your family. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting drink, give this recipe a try!
