Minty Hot Chocolate – Vegan

Hot Chocolate is one of my favorite warm, comforting drinks. Since my body doesn’t like dairy, I made this delicious vegan version which is great at holiday time or on any cold night. I love to make a batch of it for when my girlfriends come over and we top it with my coconut whipped cream. Delish and soothing

INGREDIENTS

• 1-1/2 c. almond Milk or coconut milk, Unsweetened
• 1 TBS raw cacao powder

• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
• 2 tsp xylitol or maple syrup (add more if you want sweeter)

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine all ingredients and whisk well to combine. Be careful to not overheat and do not boil!
