Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients EXCEPT gelatin into a medium-size sauce pan. Slowly warm over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes (heat to your desired temperature). If you are using coconut milk, make sure you do not boil it, it tends to become thick and unpalatable when boiled. If you’re using raw milk, you’ll want to heat over a lower heat so you do not destroy the beneficial properties.

Pour hot Golden Milk Hot Chocolate into a blender. Add gelatin. Immediately blend for about 15-20 seconds, until the gelatin has dissolved and is super frothy. [Note: Use CAUTION when using the blender, the hot chocolate is very hot and increases in volume when blending. Make sure to hold the lid on tight while blending or the hot air and liquid can escape making the lid pop off the blender.]

If you’re not using gelatin, it’s still best to blend the Golden Milk Hot Chocolate so that the ghee/butter emulsifies and becomes frothy.

Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
