Real Food Recipes - Mock Hot Chocolate

This recipe for mock hot chocolate is absolutely yummy! Give it a try for a very pleasant surprise.

1 cup whole pasteurized cream top milk (never homogenized or ultra-pasteurized)

1 tablespoon carob powder (I use Chatfield's, which I got at Whole Foods Market)

1 tablespoon organic pure maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions: Combine milk, carob powder, maple syrup and vanilla in a small saucepan. Heat until hot, but do not boil. Pour into cup and enjoy! (Some of the carob powder will settle at the bottom of the cup so you may want to discard the last mouthful.)
