Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 to 3 tbsp granulated sugar or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)
  • Toppings of choice

Method
 

  1. Whisk the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a saucepan until no lumps remain.
  2. Add the milk, vanilla, and chocolate chips if using. Warm over medium heat, whisking constantly, until steaming and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Pour into mugs, top as you like, and serve hot.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, use a full-fat oat milk or canned coconut milk. The optional chocolate chips add a little extra silkiness, but the drink is still wonderfully rich without them.
