Ingredients
- 1 cup high-quality beef or chicken bone broth
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder preferably Dutch-processed

Instructions
- Heat 1 cup of bone broth in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling (approximately 3 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, sweetener of choice, and sea salt until well combined.
- Add a small amount of the heated broth to the cocoa mixture and whisk vigorously to create a smooth paste without lumps.
- Slowly pour the chocolate paste into the saucepan with the remaining heated broth, whisking continuously.
- Add your selected spices and vanilla extract.
- If using butter or coconut oil, add it now and whisk until fully incorporated and slightly frothy.
- For a frothier texture, use an immersion blender for 30 seconds or transfer to a regular blender.
