Of course, it can be more convenient to run down to the drive-thru Starbucks down the street than to pull out the ingredients, combine, enjoy and to do the dishes for the homemade version but, there are those days you just don't want to leave the house. Today is that day.
All I did was cut back on a recipe I found on Pinterest (since I was only making this for myself) and it definitely hit the spot. If you want to make more than approx. 8 ounces than feel free to double, triple, quadruple (whatever you want) the recipe!
- 8 ounces of non-dairy milk (almond is my personal favorite)
- 4 tsp cocoa powder
- 4 tsp turbinado sugar (each packet of Sugar in the Raw is the equivalent to 1 tsp)
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract (almond may taste nice as well!)
Heat your milk of choice over medium heat until slightly steaming (about 2 minutes). Stir in cocoa powder and sugar until cocoa powder looks dissolved. Lastly, turn heat off and stir in extract.

A variation for this, that I tend to favor, is adding some leftover coffee from the morning (since we now use a drip pot versus the Keurig, we always have left over) for an afternoon mocha (sometimes you need that pick-me-up)
