Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes
Total Time: 7 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or use sugar or even coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a pot over the stove and slowly warm to medium heat. 
  • Stir often as it’s warming so that the bottom of the pot doesn’t burn.
  • Once it’s hot and the sugar (if using) is melted and no longer course, then it’s done. Serve immediately! 

Notes

I like to use whole milk but I'm sure skim or almond milk would be totally fine. I also like to use pure maple syrup just because it's a tad lower glycemic and has some minerals in there, but subbing it straight across for granulated sugar is totally fine.
