Ingredients

• 1 cup dairy
• free milk (almond or oat milk)

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cold
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, cocoa powder, and agave syrup over low heat, stirring until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
2. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well incorporated. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
3. In a large glass or shaker, combine 1/2 cup of the chocolate mixture with 1/2 cup of cold brewed coffee. Shake or stir vigorously until fully combined and frothy.
4. Pour the mocktail into a tall glass filled with ice, and top with additional cold coffee if desired for a stronger flavor. If using vegan whipped cream, gently spoon it on top of the drink.
