Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cacao
  • cup water
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 cups whole milk you can use skim or lowfat
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Combine cacao, water, maple syrup, and salt in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk constantly.
  • Add 3 cups of milk to the mixture and whisk until everything is heated through. You can use a thermometer, your finger, or just your good sense to tell when it's warm enough (your preference). Make sure the temperature is low enough that the milk doesn't scortch or boil.
  • Remove from heat and add 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
  • Pour into your mug, top with some marshmallows, and enjoy! This makes two servings
