- Glass coffee mung
Ingredients
- 3 cups Milk of your choice
- 4 tbsp Raw cacao powder or coco powder
- 1/2 bar Dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp Raw honey
- 2 tbsp Beet powder or natural food coloring
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 1 tbsp Rose petals powder for decoration
Instructions
- Heat some hot water in a kettle and have it ready—it helps dissolve cocoa powder smoothly. Place these ingredients near your stovetop like a painter arranging their palette.In a medium saucepan, combine cocoa powder, beet powder (or food coloring), salt, and about 1/4 cup of hot water. Stir briskly until the cocoa dissolves completely, forming a smooth paste. Next, add your chopped chocolate, stirring slowly over medium heat.Now, gently pour in your milk and honey and stir. Keep stirring on low to medium heat until everything is warmed through. Be careful not to let it boil—good hot chocolate is creamy, not scorched. As the mixture thickens slightly, you'll notice the luxurious texture developing. This is your cue that it's ready.Pour it into the glasses and add whipping cream. Sprinkle with rose petal powder.
