Pure and Simple Mexican Hot Chocolate

Directions

1. Bring almond milk and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally and making sure milk doesn’t boil. When the cinnamon is fragrant, about 10 minutes whisk in chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and cayenne pepper, whisking frequently, until mixture is smooth and creamy and chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

2. Divide hot chocolate among mugs. Top with organic whipped cream (optional) and dust with a sprinkling of cayenne pepper or cinnamon.
