Brief Description
A delicious & healthy hot cocoa recipe you can feel good about drinking!! Organic cacao powder creates a decadent chocolate flavor that\\\'s accentuated with a touch of ground cinnamon, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. My favorite way to fix it is with raw milk or homemade coconut or almond milk. So yummy!

Notes:
*Substitute dairy-free like homemade coconut milk and homemade almond milk -Make sure to use 100% cacao powder, NOT a hot cocoa or sipping chocolate mix. -This cocoa is pretty rich, so you may want to split it with someone else and enjoy a smaller portion OR drink it more slowly. -For traditional hot cocoa, simply leave out the cinnamon, cayenne pepper and salt. -This is REALLY yummy mixed 50/50 with freshly brewed dark roast coffee. It makes an amazing mocha-esque drink!

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups - full-fat milk*
- 2 tablespoons - organic raw cacao powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons - raw, organic sugar
- 1 teaspoons - powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons - cinnamon powder
- 2 pinchs - cayenne pepper 2-3 pinches
- 1 pinchs - sea salt
Directions:
Measure the cacao powder, raw sugar, powdered sugar, cinnamon, sea salt, and cayenne pepper into a small saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and slowly pour 1/4 cup of the milk into the spices, stirring constantly until the sugars have dissolved and all the spices are mixed together, making sure to press out any lumps with the back of your spoon.
When the mixture is smooth, stir in the rest of the milk and heat the cocoa until it's warm enough to drink (don't let it boil over). Pour into your favorite mug and drink right away, or dollop some whipped cream or sliced marshmallows on top sprinkled with extra cinnamon and cayenne. Enjoy!
