Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger (optional, for extra warmth)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk. Whisk gently to mix them together.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the milk mixture, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Once the mixture is warm (not boiling), add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Whisk thoroughly to blend the spices into the milk. Continue to heat the mixture gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse and the flavors to meld.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup or honey.
Pour the creamy hot coconut milk into two mugs, straining through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture.
Top each mug with a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this cozy and indulgent drink!
