Instructions
In a mug, add the cocoa powder and hot water. Mix to combine.
Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix to incorporate.
In a small pan over small heat, add the non-dairy milk. Warm it until you see some little bubbles on the edges.
Add the warm milk to the cocoa mixture. Whisk to combine. Add the dark chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes while preparing the foam.
Add the hot milk to a frother to make thick foam. I use a manual frother.
Add the foam on top of the hot chocolate. Shave some more chocolate on top if you like. Enjoy!
