Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the raw cacao powder, matcha powder, and a pinch of sea salt. This helps to break up any clumps and ensures an even blend.
- 2
In a separate saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until it's warm but not boiling. If you want it chilled, skip this step.
- 3
Once the milk is warm, add in the cacao and matcha mixture, followed by the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk continuously until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- 4
If you’re going for a frothy texture, you can use a milk frother or pour the mixture into a blender and blend on low for about 30 seconds.
- 5
Pour into your favorite mugs. If you want it chilled, add ice cubes before pouring.
