Description
A soothing and nourishing hot cocoa crafted to support energy and hormone balance, featuring rich cacao, maca, and raw honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (480 ml)
- 1 tsp maca root powder (~3 g)
- 2 TBSP raw cacao powder (~10 g)
- Pinch of salt (about 1/8 tsp)
- 1–2 drops pure vanilla extract (or 1/4 tsp)
- 1 TBSP raw honey (or to taste)
Instructions
- Measure and have all ingredients ready. Place a small whisk and a small pot on the stove.
- Pour 2 cups unsweetened almond milk into the pot over low–medium heat. Warm gently—do not boil.
- Whisk in 2 TBSP raw cacao powder and a pinch of salt until the cacao is fully dissolved and smooth.
- Add 1 tsp maca powder and 1 TBSP raw honey. Whisk to combine. (If using vanilla extract, add it now.)
- Continue heating for 2–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until steam rises and the drink is hot to your liking. Avoid letting it reach a rolling boil.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired. If the drink seems too thick, stir in 1–2 TBSP extra almond milk.
- Pour into a mug, breathe in the aroma, and enjoy.
Notes
For a vegan option, swap raw honey for maple syrup or agave. Experiment with added spices like cinnamon or cayenne for a warming kick.
