How to Make Ginger Hot Chocolate
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy) and 1 cup water.
- Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 teaspoon for extra zing!).
- Whisk vigorously until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Once heated through to your liking (about 5 minutes), remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Sweeten to taste with 2-4 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener).
- OPTIONAL: For a fun presentation, gently rub a few ginger candies along the rims of your mugs.
- Pour the hot chocolate into your prepared mugs.
- Top with coconut cream, whipped cream, marshmallows, or your favorite toppings.
