Name: Spiced Hot Chocolate
Cook time: 4 min
Total time: 4 min
Ingredients: 2 cups almond milk; 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder; 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder; 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder; 2 tablespoons cocoa powder; 3 drops vanilla extract; 1/4 cup maple syrup ((or sweetener of choice))

My take on ‘traditional’ hot chocolate turned out so good. At first I just thought of preparing a simple vegan hot chocolate and call it a day, but later decided to experiment a bit with spices…and I’m so happy I did.

I ended up using 9 ingredients in total. Fret not, they’re like super basic spices. Let me show you (I forgot to add Vanilla Extract on the image, sorry about that).

The preparation is super easy – combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat.

Quick note : Plant-based milk (specially soy and almond) can ‘split’ and turn lumpy when boiled over high heat. So I advise you heat it on a slow simmer over medium heat.

The chocolate has a warm ‘pumpkin pie spice’ feel to it. I really hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did. 🙂

Let’s do it!
