THIRSTY THURSDAY

I have really come to appreciate almond milk. Unsweetened, it contains half the calories of skim milk. It is tasty and I use it on cereal and in smoothies. I was excited to find this recipe for hot chocolate made with almond milk. I'm definitely going to give it a try.

ALMOND HOT CHOCOLATE
1 qt. unsweetened almond milk
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 c. honey (wildflower or clover)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (optional)
9-12 large gluten-free marshmallows, cut in half (optional)

In a medium saucepan, cook the almond milk, cocoa, and honey over medium heat, whisking constantly until piping hot, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla, if using.
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with halved marshmallows, if using.
