Ingredients

Lazy Way

  • 1 cup chocolate almond milk
  • 1 tsp orange extract

Traditional

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp orange syrup OR 1 tsp orange extract and sweetener to taste

Add ons

  • Vegan whipped cream
  • 1 square free from orange chocolate
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder

Instructions

Lazy Way

  1. Add the chocolate milk to a small saucepan on a low heat. Let it warm through for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it’s at drinking temperature.
  2. Stir in the orange extract while the heat is still on, then pour into mugs and add your toppings.

Traditional

  1. If you’re making it the traditional way, I find it easier to get a smooth mix if you add the milk to the cocoa powder bit by bit and whisk it in, smoothly rather than adding the cocoa powder to a cup of milk. Add cocoa powder to a mug or jug, then add milk bit by bit and whisk to combine. Once combined, add the liquid to a small saucepan on a low heat. Let it warm through for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it’s at drinking temperature.
  2. Stir in the orange syrup while the heat is still on, then pour into mugs and add your toppings.

Serve and enjoy!
