9] And in case you need something to sip on, try this!  It’s my go-to nighttime beverage.  Well, it’s either this or wine.

If I don’t make my own, this is my almond milk of choice.

Local, raw honey is where it’s at.

If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay outta’ my jar!

Seriously.  Raw, unfiltered, honey is good stuff.

If you live by an Ikea, or know someone who does, you should own this frother.  It works like a charm and costs $2.99.  I use it almost every single day.

Hot Cocoa

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1.5 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
  1. Heat the milk until simmering.
  2. Whisk or froth in the cocoa powder + honey.

Done!

I like mine super chocolaty and slightly sweet.  Adjust as desired.
