1 cup (250ml) of unsweetened oat milk (use almond milk when gluten-free)
¼ cup (60ml) of water
1 tablespoon of raw cacao powder
1 square of raw chocolate
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
½ teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of maca powder
a pinch of black pepper
a pinch of salt
a bit of honey (or maple syrup if vegan) for sweetness
Instructions
Combine the oat milk and the water in a saucepan and gently heat on medium heat. Do not let it boil as this will decrease the amounts of nutrients in the chocolate.
Remove from the heat, add the raw chocolate and gently whisk until it dissolves. Add the spices and give it another stir. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired, but oat milk is already rather sweet.
Froth the top of the milk for a few seconds with a milk frother. If you don't have one, just serve it as it is.
Notes
If you do not have raw chocolate, you can use regular dark chocolate with at least 70% of cacao. You can also leave it out completely as long as you have raw cacao powder.
