Notes
Prefer to use homemade chocolate syrup? You can use my homemade maple chocolate syrup in place of the cocoa powder and maple syrup in this recipe. Start with 2–3 tablespoons, whisk it into the warm broth and milk, and add more to taste.
Marshmallows made with marshmallow root add an extra nutritional boost and are soothing for your throat.
