Hot Chocolate

My sister-in-law is the QUEEN of Hot chocolate.. but since she lives a million miles away at the moment and I REALLY wanted hot chocolate, I thought I would take a whack at it.. its not as easy as you would think! Finally, I made one that worked.. so here is the recipe:

  • 1 cup original soy milk
  • 1 1/2 tablesp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teasp almond extract (can also use vanilla or peppermint instead!)
  • 1 1/2 - 2 tablesp of sugar
Bring the soymilk to a simmer in a sauce pan, add the cocoa powder, extract and a pinch of sea salt and whisk until cocoa powder is dissolved... it is going to take a good 8 minutes for this to happen so be patient.. just whisk lightly.. once the powder is dissolved, add the sugar and whisk until you don't see granules anymore.. serve! This is very simple, but when you are craving chocolate NOW, it takes an awful lot of patience! Enjoy....
