Ingredients
- 4 cups milk (dairy or dairy-free)
- 3 tablespoons cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
- Optional topping: whipped cream
Instructions
- Simmer the ingredients. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and chili powder to a simmer. Stir until there's no clumps.
- Add the chocolate. Add the finely chopped chocolate and whisk for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the hot chocolate is smooth.
- Serve. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, and if you'd like, add your favorite toppings.
Notes
- With homemade hot chocolate (using real chocolate) you might end up with clumps of chocolate in the bottom of your mug. That's normal.
- Keep an eye on the stove as milk can easily boil over (and that's never fun).
- If you like it extra spicy, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- This is a really thick and luscious hot chocolate, though the type of milk you use will affect the level of creaminess. Nut milks naturally won't be as thick as full-fat milk.
