For stovetop (my preferred method): In a small saucepan, add the cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and about a spoonful of milk Stir that with a little spatula/whisk until it's a smooth paste Over low heat, add in the milk a little at a time, stirring well. Heat to steaming and enjoy!

Microwave (fast & easy): Add cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to your mug and stir with a spoon to make a smooth paste. Slowly stir in your milk, bit by bit, until you have a smooth, but cold drink. Warm in 30 sec intervals, stirring each time, until it's steaming and hot. Enjoy!
