1 cup unsweetened almond, oat or coconut milk

1 Tbsp raw cacao powder

1 tsp maple syrup or raw honey

1 tsp coconut oil or ghee

¼ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

DIRECTIONS

Warm the milk in a small saucepan until hot, but, not bubbling. Whisk in the cacao, sweetener, coconut oil or ghee, vanilla, cinnamon and sea salt. Keep whisking until smooth and velvety. Pour into a favorite mug and enjoy a richer, healthier take on a classic.
