How to Make Vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste), 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup soy milk (or your preferred plant-based milk) until smooth.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, whisking frequently to prevent scorching.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Divide the hot chocolate evenly between two mugs and serve immediately. Garnish with optional toppings like vegan marshmallows, cinnamon sticks, or a sprinkle of chili powder for extra flair.
