How to Make Bone Broth Hot Chocolate: Unexpected Recipe

Bone broth hot chocolate is an unexpectedly delicious, warming recipe full of nutrient-rich broth flavored with sweet honey and rich cocoa.
Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 7 minutes
Serving Size 6 Cups

Ingredients

  • 4 Cups Plain Bone Broth
  • 1/8 Cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
  • 2 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup can substitute honey or sugar
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 Tsp Salt

Instructions

  • In a tea kettle or small sauce pan, heat your plain bone broth over medium to medium low heat.
  • Once steaming, whisk in your cocoa powder until dissolved.
  • After dissolving the cocoa powder, add the maple syrup.
  • Whisk to combine.
  • Add the milk. Pay attention to the temperature of the mixture to prevent it from scorching the milk. I usually take it off the heat once it's hot enough to sip.
  • Add the salt.
  • Finish by adding the vanilla extract once the heat is turned off.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Consider customizing this hot chocolate bone broth by adding ingredients like peppermint extract and whipped cream to make a peppermint mocha flavor, or cinnamon and chili to make Mexican Hot chocolate.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat on the stove instead of in the microwave to preserve the most nutrients.
