Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup High quality milk or non-dairy milk
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth or chicken bone broth
  • 2 squares High quality chocolate (preferably one made with cacao such as the HU chocolate brand) You may also use a couple tbsps of chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp Cacao Powder
  • 2-3 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla or a little more if you like :)

Equipment

  • Sauce pan
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Mesh strainer

Method
 

  1. Melt chocolate bar pieces (or chocolate chips) on medium heat in a medium saucepan. Whisk continuously until melted.
  2. When chocolate is melted, add 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup chicken broth, slowly stirring so the chocolate begins to dissolve. It won't dissolve fully until the liquid is hot.
  3. Add cacao powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Stir/whisk ingredients on medium heat until steaming, but not quite boiling. Most of the cacao powder should be dissolved at this point.
  4. Pour cocoa into a mug through a mesh strainer to catch any bits that did not dissolve. This is not a necessary step, but I highly recommend because it makes the cocoa extra smooth. Otherwise it can be a touch grainy.
  5. Snuggle up and enjoy!
