HOT CHOCOLATE. One of my all time faves in the fall and winter months. It really brings me back to all the years I spent at skating rinks growing up. After a long evening of practice, I’d always grab a hot chocolate from the concession stand on my way out. You know, the kind that came in a packet with those tiny hard marshmallows. Anyway, we thought we’d figure out a way to create a clean ingredient vegan hot chocolate that has all the delicious creamy chocolate flavors or our coconut hot chocolate recipe, but with the added kick of a little chai spice. We knew we wanted to use our DIY Chai Spice for this, too. It’s been sitting patiently in the cabinet waiting for this season 😀 If you don’t have the time or ingredients to make your own chai spice, it will be easy to find this time of year at pretty much any grocery store. But, I do have to say, making your own mix is SO MUCH BETTER. And you can always mix up a big batch to last you all season. Yum. Let’s get into this recipe!

How to Make Hot Chocolate (with Chai!)

Step 1: Gather your vegan chai hot chocolate ingredients:

• Almond milk
• Cocoa powder
• Chai spice (here’s our fave DIY chai spice recipe!)
• Vanilla extract
• Maple syrup

Step 2: Pour wet ingredients in a medium sauce pan, and then add in your dry ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil and stir with a whisk until all dry ingredients have dissolved. Reduce heat and let simmer for 3-5 minutes. Step 3: Pour in mugs and add your favorite whipped cream, frothed milk or mallows, and enjoy! This recipe serves 2, but feel free to double or triple if you’re serving a crowd.
