How to Make Vegan Hot Cocoa

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat work well), 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup sugar (or maple syrup to taste), and a pinch of salt.
  2. Whisk together until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently until the mixture is heated through and steaming, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour into two mugs. Top with your favorite toppings such as vegan marshmallows, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  6. Enjoy your delicious and warming vegan hot cocoa!
