Servings: persons

3/4 cup water
1 cup almond milk
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon carob powder (or more cocoa powder)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon arrowroot
2 tablespoons natural granulated sweetener (coconut sugar, sucanat, turbinado)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
5-8 drops liquid stevia (or 1 teaspoon more sugar)
2-3 teaspoons cocoa butter, optional, but delicious!

1
In a saucepan, whisk together the water, cocoa, carob, sugar, and salt, and place it over medium heat.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk with the arrowroot until the arrowroot has dissolved.
3
Once the water/cocoa mix is warmed, add the milk arrowroot mix to it, and continue heating it through until the mixture has thickened (about 1 minute). Don't boil the mix!
4
Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, stevia, and cocoa butter (this enhances the chocolate flavor even more!).

Pour into a couple of mugs and share with a loved one!
