Coconut Cocoa


Today is atrocious in Chicago. We've got a foot of snow (it's still falling in heavy persistent clumps) and sub-zero temperatures. So I thought it would be a good day to make a cup of this. In my continuing battle against milk I thought I would try hot cocoa with coconut milk. Low and behold it's delicious—even to me, someone who isn't totally into coconut. The secret is cutting the coconut milk with something. Both times I've used water at about 1:1. If you're even less excited about the coconut you could do 1:2. For the 'dry' I used cocoa powder and sugar once, and regular cocoa mix. Both are good.

½ c coconut milk
½ c water (milk, etc...)

2 T cocoa powder
2 T sugar
½ dash cinnamon

Heat liquid, add dry. Mix.


p.s. I was going to add an actual photo, but it looks just like regular cocoa; brown liquid.
