Cocoa Milk

Published by:

Use a blender to mix nondairy milk with cocoa or carob powder. I’ve tried both stirring with a spoon and using a wire whip but a blender or battery operated whisk works best to eliminate lumps and give the milk a nice froth. I sometimes blend up a big batch and pour it into a pitcher that I keep in the fridge. This way it’s ready for a quick drink, or to heat up for a nice hot cocoa in the morning.

Taste and if needed sweeten with one of the following sweeteners:

  • agave nectar
  • honey
  • Stevia

Parisian Hot Chocolate

Published by:

Stir together with a wire whip in a medium-size heavy pan over low heat:

4 ounces grain-sweetened chocolate or carob chips
2 1/2 cups nondairy milk
1 tablespoon unrefined sugar or sugar substitute
2 sticks cinnamon

Continue stirring occasionally. When the mixture begins to bubble around the edges, remove from heat. Remove the cinnamon sticks and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
