Cacao Coffee
What you’ll need:
1 heaping tbsp. unsweetened cacao powder
1-2 tbsp. maple syrup
Dash of cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8oz coffee
Small whisk (alt: frother, spoon)
How to Prepare
Prepare 8oz of coffee however you wish (drip, french press, or pour over). Combine cacao powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a large mug. Pour about 3 tbsp. of coffee over mixture. Wisk ingredients and coffee together. Pour remainder of coffee into mug. Mix all together.
A Little Treat
One day a video of Ian Somerhalder making this very coffee came across my desk. I was in need of an afternoon pick me up, but out of ingredients to make my favorite raw milk yolky latte. I gave it a try and the rest was history.
It tastes kind of like a mocha but not too sweet or heavy. An added bonus—unsweetened cacao (supposedly) gives your metabolism a little kick, can help curb inflammation, and adds strength to your immune system. So this little treat can pass as a healthy sip.
Enjoy!
