Homemade Hot Cocoa!

You can make homemade hot cocoa that tastes just as delicious as the sugary store-bought kind—without all the extra sugar or artificial ingredients. By using better, natural ingredients, you get that same sweet, chocolatey flavor, but with added richness and depth:

  • Rich Cocoa Flavor: With high-quality organic raw cacao, you get the same intense chocolate taste that you expect from a packaged and processed hot cocoa, but with more natural antioxidants and without any processed fillers and sugars.

  • Natural Sweeteners: Instead of refined sugar, natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey add the perfect amount of sweetness.

Try this homemade hot cocoa! It's perfect for a cozy morning treat or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a small saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scalding, and heat it until it's just steaming (don’t let it boil).
  2. Mix in Cacao and Sweetener: Add the raw cacao powder to the warm milk, whisking well to dissolve any lumps. Then, add the maple syrup and whisk again until it’s fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract and continue to whisk gently to ensure all the flavors blend well.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once the hot cocoa is fully combined and warmed to your liking, pour it into a mug. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
