Ayurvedic caffeine-free hot chocolate

This is the perfect hot drink for kids. Enjoy it French-style for breakfast or American-style in the evenings. The beauty of this recipe is that it has the nourishing spices and the nutritious milk but none of the stimulating caffeine from cocoa. Just a little chicory powder gives you the depth of flavour and the cinnamon, vanilla and milk do the rest. Sweeten with just a touch of maple syrup or jaggery (dairy milk needs less sweetener than homemade almond milk) or when it’s more than cool
