Dairy-free, Chocolate-free Hot Cocoa

Dairy-free, Chocolate-free Hot Cocoa
Sometimes you just want the taste of hot cocoa, but you can't (or won't) consume dairy and/or chocolate. This recipe is a pretty good substitute - warming and delicious.

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 tbsp raw carob powder
  • 1 mug full of milk-like substance (soy milk, almond milk, etc.)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp honey (optional - the carob is pretty sweet on its own)
Simply mix all the ingredients together and stir over low heat on the stove until hot, but not boiling. Pour into a mug and enjoy!

Variations can include:
- a dash or two of cinnamon
- a dash of cayenne pepper

Enjoy, and be sure to tell me how you like it!

Nice recipe but for those who don't want to use any milk whatsoever, you can do a milk-free version of chocolate milk.

This sounds really good! I love Almond milk, but I have never heard of Carob powder. I will have to keep an eye out for it.

Interesting take on Hot Cocoa! It is always good to have a substitute for people who can't enjoy the original recipe.
