Categories     Beverages

Time 7m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 cup milk
1 pinch cinnamon

Steps:

  • Add heated milk to mug and top with a sprinkling of cinnamon over the top!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Look for a cocoa powder that is 100% pure and unsweetened.
  • If you don't have a milk frother, you can heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is just simmering. Then, remove the pan from the heat and whisk the milk vigorously for about 30 seconds, until it is frothy.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of butter or coconut oil to the hot chocolate for a creamier texture.
  • To make a vegan version of this hot chocolate, use almond milk or soy milk instead of cow's milk. You can also use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.
  • Garnish your hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows, or grated chocolate for a special treat.
