Recipes for Kids: Organic Vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate

Mexican chocolate is easy for kids to make

I remember as a child experimenting in the kitchen with recipes and concocting my own. It takes a special parent to allow children free reign in the kitchen, as the results can be disastrous, but the experimentation and wonderful ideas that result are worth the risk. My daughter loves to cook, and we have purchased several kids cookbooks for her.  One of her favorite recipes (and a family favorite too) is adapted from Handstand Kids.   I just love the fact that she can make this all by herself!

Mexican Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic dark or semi-sweet chocolate (or use sweetened cocoa powder in a pinch)
  • 4 cups organic soymilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon organic cinnamon

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate in double boiler (we don’t own a microwave)
  • Heat milk on medium-low heat
  • Add chocolate to warm milk and whisk
  • Add in the spices
  • Serve!

My daughter loves to experiment with spices and has added nutmeg, cayenne, and allspice with success.

    Yes, it’s a good experience for children to learn how to cook, as it increases their sense of team-work and communication and respecting proportions and other such things. Unfortunately, as a child, my dad prohibited me from cooking, he even depicted me with awful detailes what dangers are lieing hidden, how I could have burnt myself just by trying to light the stove. I’m still afraid of fire and cooking
