5 Minute Plant Based Chocolate Milk

You will need:
1 pint Mason jar
1 tbsp measuring spoon

INGREDIENTS: 

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Hot tap water (about 2 tbsp)
3 tbsp maple syrup OR 3 tbsp sugar

Soy milk (or your choice of plant milk) 

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Add maple syrup and cocoa to a 1 pint Mason jar. Then add a splash of very hot tap water.

2. Swirl the mixture around in the jar until the cocoa has melted. If necessary break up any large clumps of cocoa with a spoon and swirl some more. You have just made chocolate syrup! 

3. Add soy milk up to the 12oz. mark (about 1 cup), screw on lid and shake well until thoroughly mixed.

Notes: I prefer soy milk over my usual almond milk here because it's thicker and creamier. You end up with something that's more like conventional chocolate milk. I haven't tried it yet but cashew milk or oat milk would probably work well also.
