INSTRUCTIONS

For almond Milk

(I used some almond milk I previously made with the NutraMilk and had frozen)

  • Start by making fresh almond milk with the NutraMilk:
    • Place almonds in the NutraMilk container.
    • Press Butter cycle, set for 7 minutes.
    • Press Start.
    • Add water and replace lid
    • Press Mix (do not change the default Mix time).
    • Press Start.
    • Press Dispense, open
    • spigot
    • and fill your container with almond milk.
  • Toast cinnamon sticks in a medium dry saucepan over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add salt and 2 cups almond milk and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and let steep 10 minutes.
  • Whisk cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup almond milk in a small bowl. Add to warm milk mixture and heat over medium. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until warmed through, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and add chocolate and vanilla. Let sit until chocolate is melted, about 30 seconds, then stir to combine. Discard cinnamon sticks. Enjoy!
  • Divide hot chocolate between mugs. Top with whipped cream and dust with ground cinnamon.
