Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond Milk or coconut milk
• 1/4 cup cacao powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (grade B preferred)
• 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 2 to 4 marshmallows (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pour the almond milk into a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and whisk in the cacao powder and maple syrup.

2. Bring to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the cacao lumps have dissolved.

3. Remove from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract.

4. Pour into 2 mugs. Top each mug with one or two 1-inch marshmallows, if desired, and serve.

Note: Not a fan of peppermint? Replace the peppermint extract with a flavor you enjoy, such as vanilla or almond.
