Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
- Cook Time: 5 mins
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 1/2 cups milk (we used whole, but you can use anything!)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small pot, add the cocoa powder, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, water, and salt, and turn the stove on medium heat
- Let this heat up, whisking often, until everything has melted together and combined into a “syrup”
- Add your milk, whisk to combine, and heat until it is almost simmering
- Stir in your vanilla and serve!
Notes
Sometimes when I make this, if I’m feeling extra non-lazy, I will run the final hot cocoa through a fine mesh sieve before serving to filter out any of spices that settle at the bottom. Totally optional!
