Hot Cocoa

1 tablespoon Virgin Coconut Oil
1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
pinch Himalayan salt
1/4 teaspoon organic whole sugar
(minimum)

Pour boiling water into a mug and let sit for about 20
seconds. Empty the water and put one tablespoon full of the
virgin coconut oil in it. It melts quickly as you stir in
one tablespoonful of cocoa powder and a pinch of Himalayan
salt. Use a minimum of 1/4 tsp. of whole organic sugar to
cut the bitterness of the cocoa and then add stevia drops to
taste. Usually about 12 drops. Pour boiling water in the cup, stir, and add cream or milk to taste. This makes a great treat very quickly. Other sweeteners can be used.
