Total time:
Serves: 2
- 3 Tbsp 100% cacao
- 1.5 cups light coconut milk
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- ¾ tsp. organic peppermint extract
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 petals, star anise
- 2 cloves, whole
- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp. organic coconut sugar (or raw honey)
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Place a cheesecloth over a small bowl to prepare for straining it at the end.
- Place all ingredients except cacao in a medium pan on the stove. Cook on very low heat, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Add the cacao, one Tbsp at a time. Stir in each Tbsp until completely dissolved before adding in another.
- Continue adding all cacao until the 3 total Tbsp have been added.
- Remove from heat, and pour mixture through the cheesecloth (this will get rid of any clumps, star anise petals, and cloves).
- Serve hot or store in the fridge for when you are ready to heat up and drink.
You will also need a cheesecloth for this recipe.
