Ingredients

350ml oat milk (use barista-style for a creamy texture)
1 tsp organic cocoa powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra to serve (optional)
½ tsp ground nutmeg, plus extra to serve (optional)
1 cardamom pod
½ tsp ground coffee
1 organic vanilla bean pod, split (or use 1 tbsp vanilla extract)
1 tbsp agave nectar
vegan whipped cream and shaved semi-sweet vegan dark chocolate, to serve (optional)

Steps:

Pour two-thirds of the oat milk into a saucepan. Add the cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom pod and coffee. Bring to the boil over a medium-high heat. Cook for 1-2 mins.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the vanilla and agave. Froth the remaining oat milk using an electric milk frother or the mini whisk attachment on a hand blender. Strain the hot chocolate into two mugs, discarding the cinnamon and cardamom pod, then gently pour in the frothed milk.
Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a pinch each of cinnamon and nutmeg, if you like.
