Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • whipped cream

Instructions

  • Heat the milk and water in a small saucepan. When it begins to simmer, lower the heat and whisk in the agave syrup, white sugar, ginger, cocoa and sea salt until fully combined.
  • When the hot chocolate is at your desired temperature, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream.

Notes

I like to shred a little chocolate on top of the whipped cream, but that is totally optional.
