Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons sifted natural cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) lactose-free whole milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

  1. Whisk together the cocoa, sugar and a little it of milk in a saucepan until smooth, then whisk in remaining milk. Bring just to a simmer over low-medium heat, whisking occasionally until piping hot. Whisk in vanilla, divide into cups and serve.
  2. This cocoa is best if enjoyed right after preparing.

Notes:

Tips

  • You could double the cocoa and sugar and it would still be low FODMAP, but we like this hot cocoa a little lighter as it is. If you want something more intense, try our Hot Chocolate.
  • Make a minty version substituting peppermint extract for the vanilla.
  • You can make this with unsweetened almond milk.

If You Can Tolerate

  • Lactose: If you have passed the lactose challenge, feel free to use regular milk.
