Hot Chocolate
This hot chocolate makes a wonderful wintertime dessert or snack. It has all the taste and health benefits of chocolate, without the sugar or dairy. With the richness of coconut oil and the natural sweetness of the almond milk, most people do not need to add extra sweetener.

- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- a few drops of vanilla extract
- Optional: Stevia powder to taste (start with a dash) OR 1 tsp of honey
You can also add some spice to the hot cocoa with a dash each of cayenne pepper and cinnamon.
