This drink is the perfect thing to snuggle up with while it’s cold and gloomy outside. It instantly lifts your mood (because chocolate, duh!) and makes you feel all warm and cozy. The spices also give it a nice Christmasy vibe. For an extra kick, feel free to add in a pinch of chili or cayenne pepper.

Ovaj napitak je baš prava stvar kada se želite malo opustiti dok je vani ovako hladno i depresivno. Garantirano vam odmah podiže raspoloženje (čokolada, khm!) i još vas uz to fino grije. Začini dodaju još i blagdansku vibru, a za ekstra štih, ubacite i mrvicu čilija ili kajenskog papra.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 2 porcije / 3,81 kn po porciji / 7,61 kn za sve)

1 žlica sirovog kakao praha (1,00 kn)

1 žlica smeđeg šećera (0,20 kn)

1 žlica kukuruznog škroba (0,10 kn)

¼ žličice cimeta u prahu (0,13 kn)

1/8 žličice klinčića u prahu (0,07 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

2 šalice veganskog mlijeka po izboru (6,00 kn)

½ žličice ekstrakta od vanilije (0,10 kn)

PRIPREMA:

U lončiću pomiješajte kakao, šećer, kukuruzni škrob, cimet, klinčiće i sol. Dodajte malo mlijeka, pa miješajte dok se sve ne sjedini. Dodajte ostatak mlijeka i vaniliju, pa stavite na jaku vatru i pustite da zavrije, uz učestalo miješanje. Čim napitak zavrije, smanjite vatru na skroz laganu i kuhajte 2-3 minute uz konstantno miješanje da se smjesa zgusne. Kada dobijete željenu gustoću, maknite s vatre, rasporedite u dvije šalice te odmah poslužite.
