Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of almond milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the almond milk to warm gently. Avoid bringing it to a boil.
- While the almond milk is warming, in a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix them together to create a dry spice blend.
- Once the almond milk is warm, gradually add the dry spice blend into the saucepan. Whisk continuously to ensure that the powders are fully incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Next, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the mixture. Continue to whisk until the maple syrup is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Allow the hot chocolate to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help to enhance the flavors and ensure that the spices are well blended.
- After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat. If desired, you can strain the hot chocolate through a fine mesh sieve to remove any sediment from the spices.
- Pour the hot chocolate into two mugs. Optionally, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy Free Turmeric Hot Chocolate while it’s warm!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality cocoa powder and pure maple syrup. The better the ingredients, the more delicious your hot chocolate will be!
- Whisk Thoroughly: To ensure a smooth and creamy texture, whisk the dry spice blend into the warm almond milk continuously. This prevents lumps and helps the spices meld beautifully.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more syrup, or try a splash of agave nectar for a different flavor profile.
- Experiment with Spices: Don’t be afraid to get creative! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or a dash of vanilla extract for extra depth.
- Serve with Toppings: Elevate your hot chocolate experience by adding toppings like vegan whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, or even some dairy-free chocolate shavings.
- Make it a Treat: Pair your Dairy Free Turmeric Hot Chocolate with a vegan cookie or a slice of your favorite cake for a delightful dessert experience!
