Recipe
Serves: 2
Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups cold whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2.5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Small pinch of salt
Instructions
In a small bowl or cup, whisk together cocoa powder, maple syrup, salt, and 2 tablespoons of warm milk until smooth and lump-free. (This makes a quick chocolate “syrup.”)
Pour the rest of the cold milk into a jar or pitcher.
Add the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Shake or whisk well until fully blended.
Chill for a few minutes and serve cold.
