All day has been bitterly cold, rainy and icy! (The stay in your pajamas kind of day) I've had my limit of hot tea and need a cuppa something HOT! The day before we were at TJ Maxx checking out their food isle and yay for us we scored a can of organic cacao.
Our family loves a pot of hot chocolate simmering on the stove!
To make this yummy cup of goodness you will need water, a pure cacao powder (pure meaning the only ingredient is cacao), whole fat milk, your choice of sweetener, and grass-fed butter. For us, we like to use organic coconut sugar. It has minerals and nutrients not found in cane sugar.
Honey or maple syrup works great too.
Directions:
Bring 8 cups of water to a slow boil.
Stir in 3-4 Tablespoons of cacao powder.
Whisk in 2 cups of whole fat milk.
Add 1 Tablespoon grass-fed butter
Add 4 Tablespoons coconut sugar
Reduce heat to simmer and enjoy a cup
The perfect cup of hot chocolate, both creamy and sweet! To cool it down for the boys I added extra milk to their cup. They also like it sweeter than I, of course, and added extra coconut sugar to their cup.
Cozying up with a hot cup of chocolate was a satisfying way to end the cold dreary day.
Thanks for reading. Until next time, blessings to you!
