Tart Cherry Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups light coconut milk*
• 1 ounce Montmorency tart cherry concentrate
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ounce chopped dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch sea salt

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a small sauce pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer.

Whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is heated through.

Pour into mugs and garnish with cocoa powder, cacao nibs and/or marshmallows.

RECIPE NOTES

* Use coconut milk from a can. Other milks can be used if preferred. If choosing nut milk, use unsweetened since you’re adding sweetener and the tart cherry concentrate is a bit sweet as well.
