Hot choccie
Summary: A really creamy, milky tasting dairy-free hot chocolate! Believe me, the sunflower seeds do work – they add thickness to the drink without adding sunflower taste.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sunflower seeds, soaked in water for 2 hours or more
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 tsp carob
- 1 tsp mesquite
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tbsp yacon syrup or agave nectar
- Pinch cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Sprinkle cayenne chili (optional)
Instructions
- Put everything in a blender and run for long enough that the sunflower seeds are fully broken down.
- Pour the mixture from your blender into a saucepan, running it through a sieve as you do so to ensure any chunks of sunflower seeds are taken out.
- Heat the hot chocolate to the required temperature, stirring all the while. If you want to keep it raw, stick a finger in as you stir and turn off the heat just before the liquid becomes too hot to be comfortable.
- Find a tall mug, pour and enjoy!
