Rich cinnamon hot chocolate

Rich cinnamon hot chocolate is the perfect blend of creamy texture and spicy warmth. This delightful beverage combines the richness of soy milk and low-fat milk with the aromatic essence of cinnamon and the deep flavor of cocoa powder. It's sweetened lightly with honey, making it a comforting and indulgent treat that's easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

2 cups soy milk
460g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
2 tsp honey
6g
1 cinnamon stick
3g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
10g

Instructions:

1. Combine Milks: In a medium saucepan, pour in the soy milk and milk (1% fat).
2. Add Honey and Cinnamon: Add the honey and cinnamon stick to the milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
3. Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Warm the mixture until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t scald.
4. Mix Cocoa Powder: In a small bowl, place the dry cocoa powder. Once the milk mixture is hot, add a few tablespoons of the hot milk to the cocoa powder. Mix well to create a smooth paste.
5. Incorporate Cocoa Paste: Pour the cocoa paste back into the saucepan, stirring continuously. This step helps prevent lumps in your hot chocolate.
6. Simmer and Infuse: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the cinnamon and cocoa flavors fully infuse into the milk.
7. Remove from Heat: Remove the saucepan from the heat once the desired richness and flavor have been achieved.
8. Discard Cinnamon Stick: Carefully remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
9. Serve: Pour the rich cinnamon hot chocolate into mugs.
10. Optional Garnishing: If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or shaved chocolate.
11. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, rich cinnamon hot chocolate!

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, use whole milk or add a splash of heavy cream.

- If you prefer a vegan version, replace the 1% fat milk with an equal amount of soy milk or any plant-based milk of your choice.

- To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of salt to the mixture.

- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar to suit your taste preferences.

- For an extra kick, sprinkle a dash of nutmeg or cayenne pepper on top just before serving.

Enjoying a mug of rich cinnamon hot chocolate is like wrapping yourself in a warm, comforting blanket. The harmonious blend of cinnamon and cocoa creates a delightful symphony of flavors that will surely become a favorite. Whether you're sipping it on a chilly evening or treating yourself to a cozy afternoon delight, this hot chocolate is sure to provide the perfect pick-me-up.
