Healthy and Delicious Cocoa!

On such a windy, rainy, and cold day (not the usual spring Queensland day I was getting used to!) I couldn't think of anything better to snuggle up with than a hot cup of cocoa!

I thought I'd share this easy, yummy, and (close to) organic recipe with you! Its healthy and doesn't use any unnatural ingredients.

Ingredients (1 serving)
1 tbsp organic cocoa (you could use any flavour or mix a few)
1/2 tsp organic honey (I don't like things too sweet so start with this and add more until you reach the desired taste)
1/2 tsp organic cinnamon
3/4 cup distilled/spring water (you can substitute half of this with milk if desired)
1/4 cup organic thickened cream

Method
  1. Add cocoa, cinnamon, and water to small pot
  2. Stir with whisk until combined and reflective
  3. Slowly bring mixture to boil then turn heat down - continue stirring
  4. Add honey (at this stage you could also add vanilla/flavouring if desired) and stir for about 2 minutes
  5. Pour into mug (top up with hot water if required)
  6. Whisk chilled cream in a bowl until thickened
  7. Use a teaspoon to put cream on top

ENJOY!
