Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the cocoa powder, brown sugar, and the instant coffee powder if using, breaking up any lumps.

2. Add the milk a little at a time, whisking until the cocoa and sugar are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

3. Stir in the chia seeds and honey, adding more honey to taste if you like it sweeter.

4. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps of chia seeds.

5. Let it rest for about 15 more minutes, stirring once more partway through, until it thickens to a pudding-like texture.

6. Spoon the pudding into a serving dish and eat it right away, or cover and refrigerate it for longer if you prefer it chilled.
