Cozy Cinnamon Cocoa

Is there anything cozier than a warm cup of cocoa on a cold day? This simple, soothing drink tastes even better with the addition of warming Cinnamon, with its familiar aromatic, spicy and astringent flavor. Make yourself a mug of cocoa, then put on your most comfortable clothes, curl up with a good book or your journal and sit by the fireplace. Scandinavian cultures have a word to describe this level of comfort: hygge.

We used rich, creamy oat milk to make this drink, but you can use any milk you prefer. Opt for organic ingredients when possible. Each serving yields about 6 ounces.

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk. (Do not allow it to reach a boil.)
2. Meanwhile, in a mug, use a fork to whisk together the cocoa powder, maple syrup, salt and Cinnamon extract.
3. Carefully pour in the warm milk and stir to combine.
4. Serve immediately.
