- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1-2 Tablespoons sweetener I like honey, but any sweetener will work!
- 1 large egg
- good dash sea salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- stevia, to taste optional
Begin by warming the milk in a saucepan; warm it to 130℉ or until warm to the touch.
In a separate saucepan, whisk the egg with the sweetener of choice, cocoa powder, and salt until a smooth slurry forms.
Slowly drizzle in the warmed milk to the egg/cocoa slurry; go slow to avoid scrambling the egg.
Place pot over medium high heat and stir continuously for about 5-6 minutes or until the mixture has thickened.
Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the vanilla as well as extra sweetener or stevia to taste.
Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, cinnamon, etc, and enjoy while warm.
