Quinoa Hot Chocolate

  1. Add quinoa, cinnamon, water, salt, honey and vanilla to a high speed blender. Blend until very smooth. Add the oil, dates and cocoa and cacao paste pieces and blend until very smooth and frothy. If your blender can generate heat, heat on lowest heat setting and use the stir setting gently. If your blender doesn't generate heat, transfer the mixture to a small pot and heat over a medium low setting, whisking. After 2 or 3 minutes, transfer back to your blender and blend until frothy. Taste! If it needs more sweetness add extra raw honey and blend to incorporate. If it tastes gritty, your blender may not be strong enough to break up the quinoa and you should strain the liquid in a fine mesh sieve before serving. Serve immediately for warm and creamy hot chocolate.
  2. For a unique summery drink, pour the finished creamy and warm drink over ice cubes in a glass.
  3. For a cold drink, transfer the creamy beverage to a pitcher and store in the fridge for at least an hour before serving straight or over ice.
