1 to 2Tablespoonsgelatin<-- see link or below in recipe Notes (Use 1 to 2 tablespoons depending on preference: 2 makes the drink a little sticky on your lips (which I like, but not everyone does), higher in protein and creates a finer foam, plus a firmer pudding treat when chilled.)
2Tablespoonscocoa powderOR for AIP: roasted carob powder
1Tablespoonsweetener of choice: maple syrup or honey; OR low carb sweetener for Keto (you may increase sweetener, to taste, if preferred); stevia may also be used: start with 5 to 8 drops
Instructions
Heat milk until steaming and hot to the touch, but not yet simmering. Place fat and sweetener into blender.
Add milk to blender. Top with cocoa and gelatin. Purée on medium speed for about 12 seconds. Pour foamy, hot goodness into mug. (If you want your drink hotter, you may now also pour it back into the saucepan to obtain optimum heat. But I don't like blending liquids that are too hot to preserve the integrity of the blender [which is usually plastic].)
