Drinking Chocolate


-Drinking Chocolate-


Ingredients
~makes four servings~

4 squares dark chocolate 
(65-80% cacao)

4 cups Almond Milk 
(or regular milk)

4 TBS Cocoa Powder

4 TBS Agave Nectar

1 TBS Peppermint Schnapps 
(or splash of Peppermint Extract)


Directions

In a saucepan melt dark chocolate squares in almond milk over medium heat until dissolved. 

Slowly whisk in cocoa powder, agave nectar, 
and Peppermint Schnapps or extract. 

It will be pretty thick...that's why it's called drinking chocolate. If you prefer it thinner add more almond milk and agave to taste.

Serve with a candy cane for garnish!
