Ingredients:
almond milk (preferably fresh)
organic half and half (non-diary if you prefer)
cocoa powder (unsweetened)
maple syrup
ice


Recipe:
Fill a rocks glass with ice. Pour halfway full with almond milk. GoodMylk has a great frozen almond milk that is as delicious as homemade. Steam a splash of half and half adding cocoa powder to your desired intensity. We like Scharffenberger unsweetened cocoa. Add a bit of maple syrup and froth until hot. Pour cocoa mixture to fill the glass the rest of the way. Add optional toppings if you choose. Voila! Almond Cocoaccino. Sip and sigh!
