How to Make It
Step 1
Pour the almond milk into a medium-sized saucepan. Add the Keto sweetener, dark cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the cocoa powder and sweetener are fully dissolved and no clumps remain. This ensures a smooth base for the hot chocolate.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Add the cinnamon sticks, star anise pods, and ground nutmeg to the mixture. Stir gently as the mixture heats up, ensuring the spices infuse evenly. Do not let the mixture come to a boil, as this can alter the texture.
Step 3
Once the hot chocolate is steaming and heated through, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Remove the cinnamon sticks and star anise pods before serving.
Step 4
Pour into mugs and enjoy hot!
