Instructions
 

  • In a small pot, add the bone broth, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and gingerbread spice mix and put over high heat.
  • Whisk until the cocoa has dissolved and the temperature is between 140°F and 160°F or until the cocoa has completely melted and it's hot to your liking.
  • Top with whipped cream, cinnamon stick, or star anise (optional). Serve immediately.

Notes

Tips
  • Use a drink thermometer for the best results. Heating to 140°F is the perfect temperature for drinking (in my opinion!). While bone broth won't burn if heated too high (like milk), because I ran a bakery for over a decade that served fresh made hot cocoa daily, I know that 140°F is a perfect drinking temperature!
  • I use Kettle and Fire Bone Broth. Use code MIMIBAKESCOOKIES for 20% off your order. You can also use beef bone broth if you prefer. You can use plain beef or chicken, either works.
  • If you want to use milk in place of bone broth, you can! You can replace some or all of the bone broth with your milk of choice, it will work with regular cow's milk, coconut milk, almond milk or oat milk, any kind of milk will work!
  • Check out How to Make Organic Whipped Cream for a sweet topping! Or use my Homemade Organic Vegan Whipped Cream recipe if you want a dairy free topping.
  • Feel free to add marshmallows on top, try out my Homemade Marshmallows Without Eggs or Homemade Chocolate Marshmallows Without Eggs.
  • High Altitude — Follow the recipe as noted.
