Cinnamon Orange Hot Cocoa Recipe
How many of you drink hot cocoa? I know that I do and during the late Fall through the Winter season, I drink it almost every day. I will drink classic hot cocoa more often than not, but I also enjoy some of the non-traditional flavors too.

Cinnamon Orange Hot Cocoa Recipe
1 cup fresh squeezed Limoneira orange juice
2 cinnamon sticks
2 cups non-dairy milk
3 tbsp raw cacao powder
3 tbsp real maple syrup
1 pinch sea salt
Directions: Juice a Limoneira navel orange. Add cinnamon sticks and orange juice to a small pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Then remove the cinnamon sticks, and add the milk, maple syrup, cacao powder and just a pinch of sea salt. Whisk everything together until the hot cocoa is silky smooth. Finally, place back on the stove and heat until bubbling. Pour into mugs, top with just a couple of marshmallows (to taste) or even a cinnamon stick, and just a dash of navel orange zest as a finishing touch. Serve and enjoy!
