Okay, I know it's still November but December is literally around the corner, which means my Christmas spirit is at an all time high- and what better way to kick off the silly season than with a steaming mug of hot chocolate?
Perfect for a Christmas movie marathon with your friends or even on your lonesome, trust me- I wouldn't want to share this mug either!
You can easily adapt this recipe so you can enjoy it all year round, just omit the spices and VOILA!
Keep reading to the end of this post because MY FIRST EVER YOUTUBE VIDEO IS HERE!
HOW EXCITING IS THAT? ^

Serves 2
2 cups of milk (I used a regular lactose free kind, but you can definitely use Almond or Coconut Milk)
1 Tbsp of Raw Cacao Powder
1/2 - 1 Tbsp of Rice Malt Syrup (or to taste, I found this very sweet)
1/4 tsp of Cinnamon
1/2 tsp of All- Spice
1 Cinnamon Scroll/ Stick
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped Cream
- Chocolate shavings
- Crushed Candy Canes
Mix all ingredients together in a small saucepan on a low heat. Keep stirring until everything is mixed and heated through. Pour into a glass/ mug and decorate.
Pick your favourite Christmas movie, sit back and enjoy!
