Today is National Hot Cocoa Day. Not being a coffee drinker I do enjoy a hot steamy cup of cocoa, especially on a cold evening. There are many ways to enjoy hot cocoa. You can buy a hot cup from a restaurant or coffee shop. You can also add a packet of mix to hot water.
But my favorite is homemade. Here is my recipe.
Genie’s Dairy Free Hot Cocoa
This recipe makes 2 servings. You may double it to serve 4.
Ingredients
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder (I prefer dark)
3 Tablespoons Stevia
1/4 cup water
2 cups almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- Mix together cocoa, sugar and water in saucepan.
- Stir and cook until mixture starts to bubble.
- Slowly add milk and vanilla, stirring to blend.
- Heat continuing to stir until the cocoa is drinking temperature.
- Pour into cups or mugs and serve.
Note: If you use vanilla almond milk the extra vanilla may not be needed. You may also use any type of non-dairy milk that you prefer. My go-to is almond.
