SO HOW'D IT GO?
Well, I'm drinking this as I type, and it's really really good. And it was ridiculously easy to make. I think next time (and there will definitely be a next time) I'm going to cut down on the cocoa a little bit. Typically, I'm not a cinnamon with chocolate kind of person, but it was soso good in this.
i ran out of espresso, so i needed something hot and warm in my tummy this morning! this was perfect. i followed a few suggestions and did half water, half soy milk, and also cut the cocoa and sweetener in half. i also replaced the sugar with agave nectar. finally, i traded the cinnamon for some nutmeg because i was in a particularly autumn-y mood this morning! (okay, i know it's july...but i couldn't help myself.) ^-^ this totally beats any instant cocoa mix!
Good recipe.The only reaosn I gave it 4 stars is bcoz me & my man both thought it was a little bit too rich, which was easily remedied the second time around - I prefer it with less sugar, and he prefers w/ ricemilk which definitely thins it out.... Otherwise this is great
This was great. I used stevia for a natural sugar-free version which turned out great, just make sure you use less stevia than sugar calls for as it's way sweeter.
This was pretty darn yummy :)
The second time I made this was with some almond milk, it made it really nice and creamy (I would totally suggest this!).
Two thumbs up!
Very good! I didn't really have enough sugar, but I liked that the cocoa was more chocolate-y. I haven't had hot cocoa in so long...it was great!
Delishuss. (I gots to get me some vanilla, that'd make it even more betterer.)
To prevent lumps, I put the cocoa and sugar in a large bowl, pour over a tablespoon or two of hot water and whisk like crazy. THEN I add this to a mug and top up with more water and heated soy milk.
I also prefer it with half to three quarters water to soy milk, and only one tablespoon each of cocoa and sugar.
Just had a cup and it was delicious! Used vanilla Almond Breeze, so didn't add the extra vanilla. Also cut the sugar down to 1 tablespoon. I think adding another one would have made it too sweet. Thanks for the recipe!...
Okay so I've been doing the recipe incorrectly. I had been putting 1 tablespoon of both the sugar and cocoa powder. I tried it with two and I didn't like it at all. But the 1 tablespoon version is heavenly and I prefer it without the dash of cinnamon.
Omg I am in love. best hot cocoa i've tasted, probably before I was even vegan. I forgot to put the cinnamon too but I'll be making this a million times more so i'll remember next times. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you !!!!!
