Creamy Hot Chocolate (Dairy and Refined Sugar Free)

Hot chocolate is definitely a favourite here, especially after playing out in the snow.  In order to ensure a rich, creamy drink, we definitely prefer using homemade cashew milk.  This recipe definitely satisfies a hot chocolate craving and with all this snow, it is quickly becoming a "regular" thing.

• pinch sea salt
• pinch cayenne pepper

Directions
